Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Homemade Pickled Onions
Ingredients:
For the Toast:
1 ripe avocado
2 slices of whole-grain bread
2 large eggs (poached)
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes or chili oil (optional for a spicy kick)
Fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish
For the Pickled Onions:
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar (optional or can be substituted with honey)
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of black peppercorns (optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the Pickled Onions (Do This First):
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and black peppercorns. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Remove from heat, and pour the mixture over your sliced red onions in a jar. Let it sit and cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. You can make this in advance and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks—perfect for adding flavor to more dishes!
2. Poach the Eggs:
Bring a pot of water to a simmer, and add a splash of vinegar (this helps the egg whites stay together).
Crack each egg into a small cup, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Prepare the Avocado:
While your eggs are poaching, mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you enjoy. A dash of lemon juice adds a bright flavor and keeps the avocado from browning.
4. Toast the Bread:
Toast your whole-grain bread until golden and crispy. You want a sturdy base to hold all the goodness!
5. Assemble the Toast:
Spread the mashed avocado generously on each slice of toast.
Top each slice with a perfectly poached egg.
Add a few pickled onions on top for that pop of tangy flavor.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and any additional toppings like microgreens or seeds.
