Chef's Note
For the perfect poached egg, use the freshest eggs possible as they hold their shape better. If you're not confident with the poaching technique, you can use a silicone poaching pod or wrap the egg in plastic wrap before placing in the simmering water. The microgreens add a nutritional boost and a peppery flavor that complements the creamy avocado beautifully.
