Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 fresh eggs
- 2 slices of good quality bread (whole-grain, sourdough, or rye)
- 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (white wine or apple cider)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Chili flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds or Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)
- Microgreens or fresh herbs (optional)
- Cherry tomatoes (optional)
- Radish slices (optional)
- Nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Poaching Station: Fill a medium saucepan with about 3-4 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) and a generous pinch of salt. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- While the water heats, crack each egg individually into its own small ramekin or bowl.
- Toast Your Bread: Place your chosen slice(s) of whole-grain bread into a toaster or under the broiler. Toast to your preferred golden crispness.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread toasts, cut your ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Using a fork, gently mash the avocado to your desired consistency. Season the mashed avocado generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor and help prevent browning.
- Poach the Eggs: Once the water is at a gentle simmer, you can optionally create a gentle swirl in the water with a spoon. Carefully and gently tip each egg from its ramekin into the simmering water. Let the eggs poach for 3-4 minutes for a beautifully runny yolk, or a minute longer if you prefer a slightly firmer yolk. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift each poached egg out of the water.
- Assemble Your 'Avocado Toast Mit Pochiertem Ei': Place the warm, toasted bread on your plate. Spread the seasoned mashed avocado generously over the toast. Carefully place a perfectly poached egg on top of the avocado. Finish with any desired toppings.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed right away while the toast is warm, the avocado is fresh, and the egg yolk is still wonderfully runny.
