Zesty Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Cherry Tomatoes
This vibrant avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg and juicy cherry tomatoes is a quick and delicious lunch option that will impress anyone. It's fresh, flavorful, and visually stunning, making it a perfect choice for a midday meal.
Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Add a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado, then mix well.
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy. While the bread is toasting, bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer on the stove.
Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and let it drain on a paper towel. Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them on top of the avocado. Place the poached egg on top of the tomatoes, and season with additional salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your beautiful, mouth-watering lunch!
