Ultimate Avocado Toast

Avocado toast done right is one of the most satisfying breakfasts you can make. The key is good sourdough, a perfectly poached egg, and not over-seasoning the avocado — it should taste like avocado.

Ingredients

• 2 thick slices sourdough bread
• 2 ripe avocados
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Chili flakes
• Everything bagel seasoning
• Flaky sea salt
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Microgreens (optional)

Instructions

1. Toast bread until deeply golden and crisp.
2. Halve avocados, remove pits. Scoop into a bowl with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Smash roughly with a fork — leave some texture.
3. Bring a wide saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar.
4. Crack each egg into a small cup. Swirl the water gently and slide eggs in one at a time. Poach 3 minutes for runny yolks.
5. Spread avocado on toast. Place poached egg on top.
6. Finish with chili flakes, everything bagel seasoning, flaky sea salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
