Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh around the pit cavity to create more space for the poached egg.
Step 2
Drizzle a few drops of lemon juice over the avocado halves to prevent browning and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Step 4
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to make transferring into the water easier.
Step 5
Using a spoon, stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set but the yolk remains soft.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat the process for the remaining eggs.
Step 7
Place one poached egg into the hollowed-out cavity of each avocado half.
Step 8
Sprinkle the eggs and avocados with an extra pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Poached Egg Avocado Surprise!
