Chef's Note
For perfectly poached eggs, use the freshest eggs possible and add vinegar to the water to help the whites coagulate quickly. If you're new to poaching, you can practice with one egg at a time. The water should be simmering, not boiling, to prevent the eggs from breaking apart.

Ingredients
2 slices whole grain bread
1/2 medium ripe avocado
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 each cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup microgreens or arugula
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- 2
While the water is heating, toast 2 slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and crisp.
- 3
Cut the 1/2 avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mash with a fork until slightly chunky but spreadable.
- 4
Slice 4 cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.
- 5
When the water is simmering (small bubbles, not boiling), crack 1 egg into a small cup or ramekin. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the second egg.
- 6
Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or longer if you prefer them more set.
- 7
While eggs are poaching, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- 8
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water for a few seconds.
- 9
Transfer the eggs to the avocado toast, placing one egg on each slice.
- 10
Top with halved cherry tomatoes and 1/4 cup of microgreens or arugula.
- 11
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the toast, and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and remaining salt and pepper to taste.
