Avocado and Poached Eggs
Crisp toast spread with lemony mashed avocado and topped with tender poached eggs.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Combine the water and white vinegar in the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat so the liquid barely simmers.
-
Step 2
Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into the mixing bowl.
-
Step 3
Add the lemon juice and salt to the avocado. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
-
Step 4
Toast the bread until crisp and golden.
-
Step 5
Crack each egg into the small bowl in turn and gently slide it into the barely simmering water. Poach until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.
-
Step 6
Lift the poached eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and let them drain briefly.
-
Step 7
Place the toast on serving plates and spread with the mashed avocado. Top with the poached eggs, season with the ground black pepper, and serve immediately.

Food safety
Caution: medium
Use clean, uncracked eggs and serve promptly. For higher-risk diners, use pasteurized shell eggs or cook the eggs until both whites and yolks are firm and the center reaches 71°C.
Risk factors
- Raw shell eggs may carry foodborne pathogens.
- Soft poached yolks may not reach a pathogen-reduction temperature.
