Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs and Fresh Salsa

Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (2) ripe avocados
  • (4) large eggs
  • (4 slices) whole grain bread
  • (1/2 cups) diced tomatoes
  • (1/4 cups) diced red onion
  • (1/2) jalapeño, diced
  • (2 tbsp) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • (1 tbsp) lime juice
  • (1/4 tsp) salt
  • (1/4 tsp) black pepper
  • (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1/4 tsp) garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mash the (2) ripe avocados with (1/4 tsp) salt and (1/4 tsp) black pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together (1/2 cup) diced tomatoes, (1/4 cup) diced red onion, (1 /2) diced jalapeño, (2 tbsp) fresh cilantro, and (1 tbsp) lime juice. Season with (1/4 tsp) salt to taste. This will be your salsa.

  3. 3

    Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack (1) large egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Repeat with the remaining (3) eggs. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel.

  4. 4

    While the eggs are poaching, toast the (4 slices) whole grain bread until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Drizzle with (1 tbsp) olive oil and a sprinkle of (1/4 tsp) garlic powder for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Top each slice of avocado toast with a poached egg. Spoon the fresh salsa on top of the egg and serve immediately.
