Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (4 slices) whole grain bread
  • (2) ripe avocados
  • (1 teaspoon) lemon juice
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1/4 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (4) large eggs
  • (1 tablespoon) olive oil
  • (1/4 teaspoons) red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175 °C).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mash 2 ripe avocados with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Brush 4 slices of whole grain bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides.

  4. 4

    Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).

  5. 5

    While the bread is toasting, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar (optional).

  6. 6

    Crack 4 large eggs into small bowls. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide each egg into the water.

  7. 7

    Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  8. 8

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.

  9. 9

    Top each slice with a poached egg and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro if using.
