Print Recipe

A healthy and satisfying breakfast or brunch dish featuring creamy avocado spread over toasted bread, topped with perfectly poached eggs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the slices of whole grain bread to your desired crispiness.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
  3. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice if desired.
  4. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.
  5. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg.
  6. Poach the eggs for about 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and drain on paper towels.
  8. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread slices.
  9. Top each slice with a poached egg.
  10. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can add toppings like cherry tomatoes, arugula, or feta for variation.
  • Sourdough or rye bread can be used instead of whole grain.
