Spicy Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

This deliciously creamy avocado toast is elevated with a hint of spice and topped with a perfectly poached egg. It's a quick and nutritious main dish, perfect for breakfast or a light lunch.

Steps

1. Begin 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.
3. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.
4. In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.
6. Once the egg is cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the water and place it on top of the avocado toast.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and an extra sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy avocado toast!
