Avocado Toast with Egg – the best meal anytime of day

Avocado Toast with a poached egg is a simple, healthy protein-packed breakfast, snack or light meal! Simple to make, tasty and satisfying. If you haven’t had an egg and avocado toast breakfast yet, now is the time! I love that it’s a well rounded meal made with some good carbs (whole wheat bread or carbonaut), great protein (eggs) and healthy fats (avocado!).All in under 10 minutes!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ripe avocado mashed
  • 2 Farm fresh eggs
  • 2 Slices of bread You can use any bread you like for these recipes. I like to use Carbonaut to get some more goodness in.
  • 1-2 tpsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tpsp Vinegar This is for the water to poach the eggs.
  • Hot sauce Optional
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • The first step is to toast the bread and mash the avocados. Mash the avocado in a bowl with salt and pepper, add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  • The next step is to poach your eggs. I love our poached eggs! Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Stir in vinegar and create a vortex with the boiling water. Lower the heat so the water creates a rolling boil at the bottom of the pot. When you see that rolling boil, crack one egg into a small bowl. Carefully slip the egg to the middle of the pot and cook for desired doneness.
  • Remove the egg with a slotted spoon to leave any liquid behind and put on a paper towel to remove any additional water.
  • Toast the bread. Add the mashed avocado, then poached egg.
    Season with hot sauce and salt and pepper.
    Spice it up - add cilantro, parsley or basil or spices like crushed red pepper, cumin or paprika.
    You can use cilantro, parsley or basil and spices like crushed red pepper, cumin or paprika. Avocado can brown quite quickly once it’s cut open, so it’s best to use it straight away.
