Ingredients

• 2 slices Gluten-free bread
• 1 large Ripe avocado
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 4 units Cherry tomatoes (optional)
• 2 sprigs Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.

Step 2

While the water is heating, cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth yet slightly chunky.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden brown.

Step 5

Once the water reaches a simmer, gently crack one egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon and carefully slip the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the second egg.

Step 6

Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.

Step 7

While the eggs are cooking, drizzle the toasted bread with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 8

Spread an equal amount of the avocado mixture on each slice of toast.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water and gently place one egg on top of each avocado-topped toast.

Step 10

Halve the cherry tomatoes, if using, and place them on top or alongside the toast. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Season the poached eggs with an extra pinch of salt and pepper, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

Step 12

Serve immediately while warm.
