Calories: 419kcal
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread can also use sprouted wheat bread
- 1 avocado, small
- 1-2 cups water
- 2 eggs
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- pinch salt
- cracked pepper
- chives
Instructions
- Toast the sourdough bread in a toaster until golden.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl.
- Season with salt and cracked pepper. Set aside.
- Bring water to the boil in a small pot. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, add the vinegar.
- Crack 1 egg into a small cup. Using a spoon, swirl the water in the pot to form a whirlpool. Gently drop the egg into the center of the swirling water. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes without allowing the water to come to a boil.
- As the eggs are poaching, divide and spread the mashed avocado between the 2 slices of toast.
- Using a slotted spoon gently lift the egg from the water and place on a sheet of kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining egg.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange on top of the mashed avocado. Top with poached eggs.
- Serve topped with a sprinkling of fresh cracked pepper and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives.
Notes
- Don't forget to season! Even a pinch of sea salt will take a dish from good to amazingly delicious.
- Use sturdy bread - this will keep it from getting soggy.
- Pick firm but ripe avocados (with a bit of give). Hard avocados won't be creamy, and mushy ones will taste off.
- Thinly slice the avocado for an attractive presentation.
- You can change up this recipe with a number of different avocado toast variations - try different toppings, mix-ins, and spices!
- Roast the cherry tomatoes to intensify their sweetness.
