Recipe:

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Yields: 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• 2 ripe avocados
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, micro greens, red pepper flakes

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Whole-grain bread can be substituted with sourdough, multigrain, or gluten-free bread.
• Microgreens can be replaced with baby spinach or arugula.
• Red pepper flakes can be substituted with hot sauce or smoked paprika.

Instructions:

1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
2. In a small bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Poach the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. 
4. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl or ramekin. 
5. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the eggs into the center. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. 
6. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess water.
7. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
8. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
9. Garnish with optional toppings like halved cherry tomatoes, microgreens, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
10. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage:

Avocado toast is best enjoyed immediately after preparation. 

However, you can prepare the mashed avocado in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. 

Toast the bread and poach the eggs just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Recipe Variations:

• Add a slice of smoked salmon or crispy bacon for a savory twist.
• Top with crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for added richness.
• Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, chili flakes, or smoked paprika.
