Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a full boil over high heat. Meanwhile, move on to the next step.
Lower in the eggs
Gently lower the 4 eggs into the boiling water with the slotted spoon, then turn down to medium heat for a simmer. Set a timer for 6 min.
Tip · Take the eggs out of the fridge 10 min ahead, or lower them in with the slotted spoon without dropping them from high up, so the shells don't crack.
Toast the bread
While the eggs cook, toast 4 slices of whole wheat bread in the toaster until golden. Set the other 4 slices aside, you won't need them for this recipe.
Prep the tomatoes
Wash the 2 tomatoes and slice them thinly. Salt them with half the pinch of salt.
Mash the avocado
Cut the 2 avocados in half, remove the pits and mash the flesh in a mixing bowl with a fork. Add the olive oil, the rest of the pinch of salt and the pepper.
Cool and peel
As soon as the 6 min are up, drop the eggs into a bowl of cold water for 1 min, then peel them gently.
Tip · Roll the egg on the counter to crack the shell before peeling it, it's easier under a stream of cold water.
Build the toasts
Spread the mashed avocado over the 4 toasted slices and lay the tomato slices on top. Cut each egg in half, set it on its toast, then add pepper.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.

How long does it keep?
Eat it fresh. Soft-boiled, poached or scrambled eggs are made to order: reheated, they firm up and the runny yolk is gone. Make them the day you eat them, it's done in 5 minutes!
