Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 units Large egg
- 10 units Cherry tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or oven until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes depending on your toaster setting.
Step 2
While the bread is toasting, bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl.
Step 3
Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water and poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and set them on a paper towel to drain.
Step 4
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, and half of the salt and pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth but chunky.
Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the basil leaves finely.
Step 6
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each slice of toasted bread. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each slice of toast.
Step 7
Top each avocado toast with a poached egg. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top, and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious Mediterranean delight!
