Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 small Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Cucumber
- 4 leaves Fresh basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mash with a fork until creamy and well combined.
Step 3
Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters and the cucumber into small cubes. Set aside.
Step 4
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar, if desired.
Step 5
Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Stir the water in the pot gently to create a whirlpool effect and carefully slide the egg into the center. Cook for 2-3 minutes for a softly poached egg. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel. Repeat with the second egg.
Step 6
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Step 7
Place a poached egg on top of each piece of avocado toast.
Step 8
Top with chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber cubes, and fresh basil leaves.
Step 9
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an added kick of flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
