Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices of whole grain bread
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a medium saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar.
  • Crack one egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolk is runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with second egg.
  • While eggs poach, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil until creamy.
  • Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
  • Place a poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
  • Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, red pepper flakes if using, and garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
