Classic Avocado Toast

Another Saturday morning has rolled around and I’m so looking forward to it! It’s a day to relax, refresh, get things done and put a little extra effort into breakfast then usual. During the week my breakfasts are a little different; they’re more geared towards being packable and able to eat it at work. On the weekends I like to switch it up with something a little different; usually incorporating eggs in some way. This avocado toast is a fun, delicious and nutritious way to have eggs on a Saturday morning.

When I have eggs, I am always changing up the way that I prepare them because I do get sick of them quite fast. Thankfully, there are so many different ways to have eggs! They are so incredibly nutrient-dense, specifically organic, free-range, so I want to make sure I’m including them in my diet on a regular basis. When I’m having eggs with toast I usually like them poached. With the avocado toast I have sliced the avocado but you can also mash it with the spices, spread it over the toast and have it that way. I love using homemade sourdough for this recipe but any type of bread will work just fine.

Prep time: 11 MinCook time: 4 MinTotal time: 15 Min

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 clove fresh garlic
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1 or 2 free-run eggs
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Spoon out the entire halves and slice lengthwise into thin slices.
  2. Toast and butter your sourdough. Rub a cut clove of garlic all over the toast and top with the sliced avocado, fanning it out as you lay it on the bread.

  4. Next, poach your eggs. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 2 tbsp of white vinegar.
  5. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Whisk the boiling water in a swirling motion and gently drop your egg into the center of the swirl. Turn the boil down to a simmer and let cook for 4 minutes or until your desired doneness.
  6. Remove your egg with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Add your egg onto your avocado toast and sprinkle all over with Everything Bagel seasoning.
