Ingredients
2 slices whole-grain bread
1 medium ripe avocado
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon lime juice
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)
Fresh cilantro or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Toast the whole-grain bread slices to desired crispness.
2. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar.
3. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl.
4. Swirl the simmering water and gently slide in one egg, then the other. Poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks.
5. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
6. Scoop avocado flesh into a bowl, add lime juice, salt, and pepper, and mash to desired consistency.
7. Spread mashed avocado evenly onto toasted bread slices.
8. Place one poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
9. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, and optional hemp seeds.
10. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a perfectly ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
A splash of vinegar in the poaching water helps eggs hold their shape.
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with tofu or chickpea scramble.
Customize with extra veggies, different spices, or additional protein like beans or cottage cheese.
Best served fresh; components can be prepped ahead but assemble just before eating.
