Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 thick slice rustic sourdough or country bread
  • 1 ripe avocado Choose the ripest avocado for the best texture.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar For poaching the eggs.
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Pinch dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Optional: drizzle of olive oil To enhance flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast the sourdough slice until golden brown and crispy on the edges while remaining slightly chewy inside.
  2. Mash the ripe avocado with a fork until chunky yet smooth; season with salt and spread generously over the toast.
Cooking
  1. In a small pot, bring water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.
  2. Crack each egg into separate bowls and gently slide them into the simmering water, creating a swirl.
  3. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the egg whites are soft and yolks are just shy of bursting.
  4. Carefully lift the poached eggs out with a slotted spoon and place them on top of the avocado spread.
Finishing Touch
  1. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper, oregano or Italian seasoning, and drizzle with olive oil if desired.

Notes

Best enjoyed immediately. For leftovers, store mashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against it to avoid browning.
