Ingredients

• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 1 medium ripe avocado
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 6 black olives

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the avocado. Mash together with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.

Step 4

Heat a medium-sized pot of water over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the water.

Step 5

Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon and gently slide the egg into the center. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft poach or longer if desired. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and set it aside. Repeat with the second egg.

Step 6

While the eggs are poaching, halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the fresh parsley, and slice the black olives.

Step 7

Drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil over each slice of toasted bread.

Step 8

Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each slice of toast.

Step 9

Top each avocado toast with a poached egg.

Step 10

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese over each toast.

Step 11

Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and sliced black olives evenly over the top.

Step 12

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the toast. Season with a pinch of the remaining salt and pepper to taste.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired avocado toast.
