Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Toast 2 sourdough slices for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, then set aside.
  2. Step 2: Cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash with 1/2 tsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp kosher salt until creamy but still slightly textured.
  3. Step 3: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle simmer, add 1 tbsp vinegar, and swirl to create a vortex. Crack 2 eggs into separate ramekins and slide them into the water one at a time. Simmer for 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny, then lift out with a slotted spoon.
  4. Step 4: Spread 1/2 of the mashed avocado onto each toast slice. Top with 1 poached egg per slice, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning, and drizzle with remaining lemon juice.

How do I scale Sunrise Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
