On top of the bread, there is a thick, uneven layer of chunky, light green mashed avocado spread. Sitting on the avocado is a poached egg with a smooth white exterior, cracked open to reveal bright yellow runny yolk spilling down onto the avocado and plate. The egg is sprinkled with small green chive pieces, black pepper, and red chili flakes. The plate is placed on a white marbled surface, with a cloth towel partially visible in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Tips & Variations

Use fried, poached, scrambled, or boiled eggs to customize your toast.
Try adding smoked salmon or crispy bacon for extra flavor.
For a smoother avocado texture, mash it thoroughly, or leave it chunkier for more bite.
Toast the bread just before assembling to keep it crisp.

Storage

This toast is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover mashed avocado, store it in an airtight container with a little lemon juice for up to one day to keep it from browning. Toast bread fresh before serving. Avoid assembling ahead to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A slice of toasted whole grain bread with visible seeds forms the base, topped with a thick, chunky layer of bright green avocado mash. On top of the avocado mash sits a smooth, white poached egg that has been cut open, letting golden yellow yolk drip down the sides and onto the toast. The egg is sprinkled with black pepper, red chili flakes, and small pieces of green chives, adding specks of color and texture. The toast rests on a round white plate placed on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
