Ingredients:

• 1 slice of whole grain or sourdough bread

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp white vinegar (for poaching)

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:
   Toast your bread slice until golden and crispy.

2. Mash the Avocado:
   In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

3. Poach the Egg:

   • Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil).

   • Add vinegar to the water (helps the egg white hold together).

   • Crack the egg into a small bowl.

   • Swirl the water gently, then slide the egg in.

   • Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the white is set but yolk is still runny.

   • Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry gently with a paper towel.

4. Assemble the Toast:
   Spread mashed avocado over the toasted bread. Place the poached egg on top.

5. Season & Serve:
   Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional toppings like red pepper flakes or microgreens. Serve immediately!

📝 Tips:

• Use a very fresh egg for best poaching results.

• For extra protein, add smoked salmon or turkey slices.

• Want a twist? Try adding a drizzle of hot sauce or balsamic glaze!
