Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 large egg
- 1 medium avocado
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 pieces kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 piece lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 4 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden and crispy. Set aside.
Step 2
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until mostly smooth.
Step 3
Season the mashed avocado with juice from half a lemon, a pinch of salt, and a touch of black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Step 4
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and the kalamata olives into small pieces.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water.
Step 6
Crack one egg into a small ramekin or cup. Swirl the simmering water gently with a spoon to create a vortex, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the swirl. Let the egg cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat with the second egg.
Step 7
Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
Step 8
Top each slice with halved cherry tomatoes, chopped kalamata olives, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Step 9
Carefully place a poached egg on top of each toast.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Toast with Poached Egg!
