Ingredients

• 1 slice Low-carb bread
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Butter or olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 whole Avocado (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Chopped chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium-sized saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the white vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg white coagulate faster.

Step 3

Crack the egg into a small bowl or cup for easier handling.

Step 4

Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water. Carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool, ensuring the yolk stays intact.

Step 5

Let the egg cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the poached egg and set it on a paper towel to drain any excess water.

Step 6

While the egg is poaching, toast the low-carb bread until golden brown.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of butter or olive oil over the toasted bread for added flavor.

Step 8

Optional: If using avocado, mash the avocado and spread it over the toast as a base layer.

Step 9

Carefully place the poached egg on top of the toast.

Step 10

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground black pepper over the egg. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb toast with poached egg!
