The Perfect Healthy Breakfast

Avocado toast has become a staple for good reason — it is nutritious, quick, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. This version takes it to the next level with a perfectly poached egg, a drizzle of good olive oil, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. Ready in 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices thick sourdough or whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • Fresh microgreens or arugula (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Toast sourdough slices until golden and crispy.
  2. Make avocado spread: Scoop avocado into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash to your preferred texture — some like it chunky, some smooth.
  3. Poach the eggs: Fill a saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small cup. Create a gentle swirl in the water and slide the egg in. Cook 3–4 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry.
  4. Assemble: Spread avocado generously on toast. Top with poached egg. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and everything bagel seasoning. Drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Serve immediately.
