Avocado Toast with a Poached Egg

The full version. Yolk running into the avocado, crunch on top of both. This is the one worth doing on a Sunday when nobody is waiting on the kitchen.

15 minutes. Serves 2.

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices sourdough
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 eggs, as fresh as you can get
  • 2 dessertspoons Plateit Chilli Crunch
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • Half a lemon, flaky salt, black pepper

Method

  1. Water to a bare simmer, not a boil. Vinegar in.
  2. Crack each egg into a cup first, then slide it in. 3 minutes for a running yolk.
  3. Toast the bread, smash the avocado with lemon and salt, pile it on.
  4. Lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and rest them on paper towel for a second so they do not flood the toast.
  5. Egg on the avocado, chilli crunch over the top, pepper.

Tip: Fresh eggs hold together, old eggs feather into rags. If yours are old, poach them in a fine sieve held over the pan first to drain the loose white.
