Print Recipe

This simple yet flavorful avocado toast with poached eggs combines creamy avocado, crispy bread, and a perfectly poached egg. It’s the ultimate healthy breakfast that’s quick to prepare and incredibly satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (or bread of choice)
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Microgreens (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the avocado spread: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy. Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
  • Toast the bread: Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden and crispy. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Poach the eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain.
  • Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread. Place a poached egg on top of each slice.
  • Season and garnish: Sprinkle additional sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with microgreens for a fresh touch.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your perfect avocado toast with poached eggs!

Notes

  • For a spicy twist, mix red pepper flakes directly into the avocado spread.
  • Use gluten-free bread if needed.
  • Store leftover avocado spread in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
  • Poached eggs can be made in advance and reheated in hot water for 30 seconds before serving.
