Poached eggs with smashed avocado is a nutritious and filling dish with protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins.
Begin by poaching the eggs. Gently crack fresh eggs into a pot of simmering water with a splash of vinegar, which helps the eggs retain their shape. Allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set while the yolks remain runny.
While the eggs are poaching, prepare the smashed avocado. Take a ripe avocado, cut it in half, and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and use a fork to smash it until it reaches your desired consistency. For added flavor, squeeze in some lemon or lime juice and season it with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Next, toast a slice of bread, then spread the smashed avocado generously on the toast, creating a flavorful bed for the poached eggs. Place the poached eggs on top of the avocado spread.
This dish can be customized to suit your preferences by adding toppings such as sliced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
