Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by toasting two slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. While the bread is toasting, slice a ripe avocado in half, scoop it into a bowl, and mash it with a fork. Mix in lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Create a whirlpool and carefully slide in a large egg. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set.
  4. Remove the toasted bread and spread the avocado mixture on each slice. Top with poached egg, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs.
  5. Serve your stunning Avocado Toast with Poached Egg immediately.
