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.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice whole grain bread

  • 1/2 medium ripe avocado

  • 1 whole large egg

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 1/4 cup microgreens

  • 3 whole cherry tomatoes

  • 1/4 whole lemon

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning

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, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.

  • 3

    Toast 1 slice of whole grain bread until golden brown and crispy.

  • 4

    In a small bowl, mash 1/2 ripe avocado with a fork. Add a squeeze of juice from 1/4 lemon, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.

  • 5

    When the water is simmering (not boiling), crack 1 egg into a small ramekin or cup.

  • 6

    Create a gentle whirlpool in the water by stirring with a spoon, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.

  • 7

    While the egg poaches, spread the seasoned avocado mixture onto the toasted bread.

  • 8

    Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached egg and place it on a paper towel to drain excess water for a few seconds.

  • 9

    Transfer the poached egg onto the avocado toast.

  • 10

    Top with 1/4 cup of microgreens, the halved cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning.

  • 11

    Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the egg is hot.
