Avocado Toast with Poached Egg Simple and Fresh Meal

Ingredients

• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• to taste salt and pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• for garnish fresh microgreens or chives

Instructions

1. Begin by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread until they are golden brown and crispy.
2. While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. In a bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado and mash it with a fork.
3. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado for flavor, mixing well to combine.
4. In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add a splash of vinegar (optional) to help the eggs hold their shape when poached.
5. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the second egg.
6. Once the toast is ready, drizzle the olive oil over each slice. Spread the seasoned avocado mash generously on top of the toast.
7. Place the poached eggs on top of the avocado toast, sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using), and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish with microgreens or chopped chives for a fresh touch.
