Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 oz extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Step 1: Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side in a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Step 2: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Step 3: Heat 4 oz extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering, then crack 4 large eggs into the oil. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp white vinegar around the eggs to help them hold shape, and cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Step 4: Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices, top each with one poached egg, and sprinkle 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning over the eggs.
