Please be cautious when poaching eggs, as the water can be hot. Also, be careful when handling the knife while slicing the avocado. Oh, and don't forget to save some avocado for the toast - eating it all straight from the spoon is tempting, we know!

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all of your ingredients: ripe avocados, fresh eggs, bread slices, butter, salt, pepper, and your favorite optional toppings like red pepper flakes or fresh herbs.

2

Poach the Eggs

Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to the water (it helps the eggs retain their shape). Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for perfectly runny yolks. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the water and set them aside.

3

Toast the Bread

Pop your bread slices into the toaster until they are golden brown and crispy. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice while they're still warm - it'll melt beautifully.

4

Mash the Avocado

Slice open those ripe avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for extra flavor. Mash everything together with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.

5

Assemble the Avocado Toast

Spread a generous amount of mashed avocado onto each slice of toast. Gently place a perfectly poached egg on top of the avocado, and season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired toppings. Now get ready for some serious taste bud satisfaction!
