Creamy mashed avocado on hearty whole grain toast, crowned with a perfectly poached egg and finished with a sprinkle of chili flakes and chives—simple, satisfying, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain or seed bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (for poaching water)
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- Fresh chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to create a whirlpool and gently drop in the egg. Poach for 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny. Remove with slotted spoon.
- Meanwhile, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Spread mashed avocado over toasted bread.
- Top each slice with a poached egg.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh chives.
- Serve immediately with a pinch more salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Notes
- Use very fresh eggs for the best poached egg shape.
- Avocado can be mashed ahead, but add lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Customize with toppings like feta, radishes, or smoked salmon.
- Drizzle of olive oil enhances flavor and richness.
