Ingredients
- 2 slices low-carb seed bread
- 1 large ripe avocados
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon green onions
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the low-carb seed bread. Lightly toast the slices in a toaster or on a pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash together using a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky.
Step 3
Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the simmering water.
Step 4
Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon and carefully drop one egg into the center of the whirlpool. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk, and then remove with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the second egg.
Step 5
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted slice of bread.
Step 6
Top each avocado toast with a poached egg, garnish with sliced green onions, and sprinkle with chia seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
Step 7
Serve immediately for a delicious and nutritious low-carb breakfast or brunch.
