Chef's Note
For the perfect poached egg, use the freshest eggs possible and strain them through a fine mesh sieve before poaching to remove the loose egg whites. This results in a more compact, beautiful poached egg. If you're short on time, you can prepare the avocado mixture the night before and store it in an airtight container with a thin layer of lemon juice on top to prevent browning.

Ingredients
4 slices sourdough bread
2 medium ripe avocados
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup microgreens
8 small cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup feta cheese
1 small lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chives
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 2 avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
- 3
Add the juice of half a lemon, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the avocados. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
- 4
Toast 4 slices of sourdough bread until golden brown and crisp.
- 5
Slice 8 cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.
- 6
When the water is simmering (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. Cook for 3 minutes for a runny yolk. Repeat with remaining eggs, cooking one at a time.
- 7
Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess water.
- 8
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly on each slice of toast.
- 9
Top each toast with 1 poached egg, 1/4 cup of microgreens, 2 halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese (about 1 tablespoon per toast).
- 10
Drizzle each toast with 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with remaining sea salt, red pepper flakes, and chopped fresh chives.
- 11
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for additional brightness if desired.
