Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
- While the bread is toasting, mash the avocado in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Poach the eggs: Fill a small saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Place a poached egg on top of the avocado on each slice.
- Drizzle with sriracha. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a smoother avocado mash, you can use a blender or food processor.
- If you don’t have sriracha, any spicy sauce can be used.
- Experiment with adding other toppings like feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, or microgreens.
