If you think avocado toast has become a bit of a cliché, think again. This recipe takes the classic and elevates it with perfectly poached eggs and a pop of feta and cherry tomatoes. It's quick, nutritious, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Whole grain bread is the foundation of this dish, offering a nutty flavor and a good dose of fiber. Avocado brings creaminess and healthy fats, making the toast decadent yet nutritious. The eggs are poached to perfection, giving you a luscious yolk that complements the other ingredients. Adding cherry tomatoes gives a juicy sweetness that balances the rich flavors. Feta cheese is the salty, tangy contrast that makes each bite exciting. A drizzle of olive oil rounds everything out, adding smoothness and depth. Finally, a touch of salt and pepper enhances every flavor, while white vinegar aids in poaching the eggs to perfection.
This avocado toast pairs wonderfully with a light green salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside a bowl of soup, like tomato or butternut squash. If you're hosting brunch, a side of crispy bacon or smoked salmon will complement the flavors beautifully.
Start by toasting your whole grain bread until it reaches a golden brown perfection. This gives your toast a crunchy texture that holds up well against the toppings. While the bread is toasting, fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer, adding a tablespoon of white vinegar. This helps the egg whites to firm up nicely.
Break each egg into a small bowl first. This step helps you slide them into the simmering water more easily and prevents any shell mishaps. Carefully add the eggs to the water and poach them for about 3-4 minutes. You'll want the whites to be set while the yolk stays deliciously runny.
As the eggs are poaching, grab a fork and mash your avocado in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Spread this creamy goodness over your toasted bread slices.
Next, scatter the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the feta cheese on top of the avocado. The tomatoes add freshness, and the feta adds that irresistible tang.
Using a slotted spoon, gently lift each poached egg out of the water and let any excess water drip off. Place one egg on each slice of toast. Finally, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and season with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
