Avocado and Egg Breakfast Toast isn't just another trendy brunch option; it's a simple, nutritious way to start your day. With creamy avocado, perfectly poached eggs, and a hint of spice, this recipe is both satisfying and quick to prepare.
Whole-grain bread provides a hearty base that complements the creaminess of the avocado, adding texture and fiber. Avocado is the star of the dish, offering healthy fats and a buttery texture that pairs perfectly with the eggs. Eggs add protein and richness, making the meal more filling and satisfying. Sea salt enhances the flavors without overpowering them. A pinch of chili flakes brings a bit of heat, balancing the richness of the other ingredients. Lemon juice adds brightness and prevents the avocado from browning. White vinegar helps to perfectly poach the eggs by keeping the whites together in the water.
This toast pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. For an extra special touch, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side, drizzled with honey and a sprinkle of granola for a sweet contrast.
First, get your bread slices toasting. You want them golden brown and crispy. While the bread is doing its thing, grab a ripe avocado. Slice it in half, remove the pit (carefully!), and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice and a quarter teaspoon of sea salt, then mash it all together until it's nice and smooth.
Once your toast is ready, spread the avocado mixture evenly on each slice. Now, it's time to poach those eggs. Fill a small pot with water and bring it to a simmer, then add a tablespoon of white vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl first, so you can gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the egg for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Do the same for the second egg.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the poached eggs out of the water, letting excess water drip off. Place one egg on top of each slice of avocado toast. Finally, sprinkle some chili flakes and a bit more sea salt over the top to taste. Serve immediately while it's warm and the yolks are perfectly gooey.
