Ingredients

• 2 slices whole grain or whole wheat bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 4 kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese
• 4 fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by poaching the eggs. Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl.

Step 2

Gently slide the eggs one at a time into the simmering water. Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

While the eggs are poaching, lightly toast the slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then mash with a fork until you reach a smooth consistency.

Step 5

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and the kalamata olives into rings.

Step 6

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.

Step 7

Place one poached egg on each avocado-covered toast.

Step 8

Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and crumbled feta cheese over each toast.

Step 9

Drizzle each toast with a little extra virgin olive oil and season with remaining salt and ground black pepper.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
