Savory Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

Start your day with a nutritious and delicious savory avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg. This breakfast is packed with healthy fats, protein, and flavor to fuel your morning.

Steps

1. Start by toasting the slice of whole grain bread until golden brown. 2. While the bread is toasting, fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar if desired. 3. Crack the egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. 4. While the egg is poaching, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and add a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. 5. Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado evenly on top. 6. Remove the poached egg from the water with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drain off, and place it on the avocado toast. 7. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using, and garnish with fresh herbs. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
