Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (4 slices) of whole grain bread
  • (2) ripe avocados
  • (4) large eggs
  • (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • (1/2 tsp) salt
  • (1/4 tsp) black pepper
  • (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • (2 tbsp) fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the (4) slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

  2. 2

    While the bread is toasting, prepare the poached eggs. In a large pot, fill with water and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Crack (1) egg at a time into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat for the remaining eggs. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, mash the (2) ripe avocados with (1 tbsp) lemon juice, (1/2 tsp) salt, and (1/4 tsp) black pepper until smooth yet still a bit chunky.

  5. 5

    Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices. Top each with a poached egg.

  6. 6

    Drizzle (1 tbsp) olive oil over the eggs and sprinkle with (2 tbsp) chopped chives before serving.
