Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Toaster or oven
  • Knife
  • Fork
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 large avocado 200g / 7 oz
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices low-carb bread 60g / 2 oz each
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar 15 ml
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chili flakes, fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the avocado. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, yet slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water – this will help the egg whites to coagulate more easily.
  • Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water one at a time. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  • While the eggs are poaching, toast the low-carb bread slices to your desired level of crunchiness. Drizzle each slice with olive oil.
  • Once toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of bread.
  • Carefully remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drain off. Place one egg on top of each avocado toast.
  • Season the poached eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes or fresh herbs for garnish.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Low-Carb Avocado and Poached Egg Toast.

Notes

Ensure the water is at a gentle simmer and not a rolling boil to avoid breaking the egg whites during poaching. For a firmer poached egg, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
