Smashed Avocado Healthy Toast

Ingredients

For the Eggs

• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

For the Toast

• 2 medium ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
• Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices whole grain bread

Instruction

1. To make the eggs, in a stock pot, pour 8 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the vinegar.
2. Place a few pieces of paper towel or a clean kitchen towel on a plate near the stove.
3. Stir the water a bit to create a whirlpool. Crack one egg into a small bowl, then slowly slide it into the simmering vinegar water. Repeat this process with the remaining eggs.
4. Cook 3-5 minutes or until the egg white is set.
5. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place on the paper towel, sprinkle with salt.
6. To make the toast, in a bowl combine the avocados, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper and mash with the back of a fork. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
7. Toast the slices of bread. Spread the mashed avocado on the toast and top each with a poached egg. Serve immediately.
8. The poached eggs can be prepped in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Heat in microwave for 30-60 seconds or until heated through.
