This is an overview of the instructions. For the complete directions just scroll down to the bottom!

  1. First toast the bread.
  2. Put water in a medium size sauce pan to boil.
  3. Mash the avocado. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime or lemon. Slice the tomato and add them to the avocado.
  4. Crack the eggs in two separate bowls. When the water comes to a boil, add about a teaspoon of white vinegar to the water and a pinch of salt.
  5. Using a spoon begin swirling the water around to make a whirlpool. Drop in the eggs, one at a time. Set your timer - three minutes will give you perfectly soft poached eggs. When you remove the eggs from the water, use a slotted spoon and blot them with a towel to remove the water.
  6. Assemble the sandwich.

FAQ's  

Is avocado toast good for breakfast?

Avocado toast is a great choice for a healthy breakfast.

How long does it take to poach a soft egg?

A perfectly poached soft egg will take about 3 minutes.

What type of bread is best?

You can really use your favorite - multi grain bread, sourdough bread, sliced French bread, use your favorite!

Things to know

  • It's easy to over-poach the egg. Keep an eye on it and remove them at the 2-3 minute mark.
  • Sprouts can be hard to get, if you can find them great, if not, no biggie! Just omit that ingredient.

Variations  

  • Substitute bacon for prosciutto if you'd prefer.
  • Store bought or leftover homemade guacamole is delicious!
  • Leftover pico de gallo is great instead of sliced tomatoes.

    Hey! What are you doing for breakfast? Let's have breakfast together this morning! 🍳 So grab your coffee and let's share a meal - I'm serving up Avocado Toast!

    Ok, it would be tough to drop everything you're doing to fly to Fresno for breakfast right? But after seeing this, you might want to!

    So speaking of toasting bread, the first time I made avocado toast I had an issue with the toast. I thought, rather than use the toaster, I will put it under the broiler. So I turned on the broiler. When it was completely heated up tucked the bread underneath it....

    And promptly forgot I had put bread under the broiler. I kid you not it was charcoal by the time I remembered it.

    I did not take a picture of it. I'm pretty sure you know what burned bread looks like. And taking stylish pictures of burnt toast didn't seem to make sense either. Seriously?? oops! You know if burnt toast is the worst thing that happened that day, that's pretty good, right?

    Ok back to this yummy sandwich - avocado toast is really quite the thing right now! I'm not jumping on the bandwagon because it's trendy - I'm sharing this recipe with you because it is AMAZING!

    Let me show you how simple it is!

    How easy is that?

      Avo on toast would have to be one of my favourite breakfasts. I order it all the time at cafes, no need to anymore. I can happily whip it up at home now.

      Totally love avocado toast for breakfast but the addition of the prosciutto is amazing! I will have to start poaching my eggs like my hubby likes again. If I'm feeling a little lazy I might just use a hard boiled egg. Can't wait!!

        That would work too Jennifer! If you used a hard boiled egg, it would be great to slap another slice of bread on top, super yummy!!!
