Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 slices crusty sourdough bread or bread of your choice
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heirloom grape tomatoes halved
• 1/3 cup cucumber shaved or thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp white vinegar for poaching

Method

 

Toast Your Bread Like You Mean It

1. Toast those slices until golden and slightly crispy. You’re building the foundation of greatness (literally and metaphorically).

Mash the Avocado

1. Halve, pit, and scoop the avocado into a bowl. Mash with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bonus points for whispering self-love affirmations to your spread.

Poach Those Eggs

1. Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water, bring to a simmer, and add vinegar. Swirl the water, gently drop in the eggs, and poach for about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel.

Assemble Like a Champ

1. Spread the avocado liberally over toast.
2. Artfully arrange the cucumber shavings and heirloom grape tomato halves atop the avocado.
3. Crown each toast with a poached egg.
4. Sprinkle with more salt, cracked black pepper, and any fancy toppings you desire.

Serve with Swagger

1. Plate your creations, step back, and applaud yourself. You just made breakfast worthy of a confidence boost.
