Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Bring the water to a simmer

    Fill a saucepan two thirds full of water and bring it to a simmer, just a few small bubbles, no salt.

  2. Toast the bread

    Toast the 4 slices of country bread in the toaster or a dry skillet until nicely golden.

  3. Mash the avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and mash all the flesh with a fork in a bowl with the lemon juice and the pinch of salt.

    Tip · The lemon juice keeps the avocado from turning brown, so mix it in as soon as the flesh is mashed.

  4. Poach the eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl, gently swirl the simmering water and slide it in. Cook for 3 min for a set white and a runny yolk, then lift it out with the slotted spoon.

    Tip · Use water that's barely simmering and don't salt it, otherwise the white breaks into strands. Drain the egg for a few seconds on a paper towel or the slotted spoon before setting it down, so the bread doesn't get soggy.

  5. Top the 4 toasts

    Spread all the mashed avocado over the 4 slices of toast, then split the 120 g of ham over them, so 30 g per slice.

  6. Add the eggs and serve

    Set a poached egg on 2 of the toasts, with nothing on top, and add pepper to taste. Serve 2 toasts with egg and 2 without, to share between you.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. Bread and wraps get soggy when they sit with the filling. Prep the filling ahead if you want, and put it together the day you eat it!
