Ingredients

• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 1 whole Ripe avocados
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 block Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 tablespoon Vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon Chives
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the avocado mixture: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork.

Step 2

Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

For the vegan poached egg, cut the firm tofu into slices about 1/4 inch thick, using approximately half a block for two servings.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, combine nutritional yeast, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Press each tofu slice into the mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Step 5

In a non-stick skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the tofu slices. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

While the tofu is cooking, bring a small pot with 2 cups of water and apple cider vinegar to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Carefully slide each cooked tofu slice into the simmering water to soak briefly, about 2 minutes, to get the authentic poached texture.

Step 8

Toast the sourdough slices to your desired crispiness.

Step 9

Once the toast is ready, spread the avocado mixture generously on each slice.

Step 10

Gently remove the tofu slices from the water with a slotted spoon and place them on top of the avocado toast.

Step 11

Sprinkle chopped chives over the top as a garnish.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan avocado toast with poached 'egg.'
