Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Bring the water to a simmer

    Fill the saucepan with 8 cm of water and heat over medium heat to a gentle simmer, no big bubbles.

  2. Crack the eggs separately

    Crack each egg into its own cup or ramekin, so you can slide them gently into the water later.

  3. Mash and season the avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and mash it in the bowl with a fork. Add the juice of the lemon quarter, the olive oil, salt and pepper.

  4. Poach the eggs

    Gently swirl the simmering water and slide in the two eggs one at a time. Let them cook for 3 minutes over very low heat: the white should be set and the yolk still runny.

    Tip · Keep the water at a bare simmer, not boiling, otherwise the white goes stringy and the egg tears.

  5. Drain the eggs

    Lift the eggs out with the slotted spoon and set them on a plate. Gently dab them with a cloth or paper towel to remove the water.

  6. Toast the bread

    Toast the 2 slices of whole wheat bread for 2 to 3 minutes in the toaster, or in a hot dry skillet, flipping halfway through. Take the toast out as soon as it's crispy.

    Tip · Toast the bread last so it stays crispy under the avocado and doesn't go soft while the eggs cook.

  7. Build the toasts

    Spread the mashed avocado on each slice, set a poached egg on top, then add a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve right away.
