Ingredients
  

  • 1 slice bread whole grain/gluten-free
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2-1 tsp chia seeds
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp microgreens

Instructions
 

  • First, to poach your egg, fill a medium-sized saucepan with about 3 inches of water. You can also add a tablespoon of white vinegar (optional, but helps the egg whites coagulate faster).
  • While the water is boiling, toast the whole grain bread.
    1 slice bread
  • Crack a fresh egg into a small bowl or ramekin. This makes it easier to slide the egg gently into the water and helps to maintain its shape.
    1 egg
  • When the water is boiling, using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the water. This can help the egg whites wrap around the yolk more neatly.
  • Gently slide the egg from the bowl into the simmering water. If using the whirlpool method, add the egg to the center of the swirl. Let the egg cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolk. For a firmer yolk, cook for an additional minute or two.
  • While the egg is cooking, scoop out and mash your avocado in a small bowl.
    1/2 avocado
  • Spread the avocado mash on top of the toasted bread.
  • When the egg is ready, use a slotted spoon to gently lift the poached egg out of the water. Place the egg on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess water, and then carefully place on top of avocado mash.
  • Sprinkle chia seeds on top.
    1/2-1 tsp chia seeds
  • Season with salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
    kosher salt, 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • Top with your avocado toast with fresh microgreens and enjoy! 🥑
