Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread toasted
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for a spicy kick
- 2 tbsp tahini sesame paste
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Microgreens or fresh herbs optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the bread:
- Toast the whole-grain or sourdough slices until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Make the avocado mash:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you like a little spice).
- Set aside.
- Poach the eggs:
- Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer (you don’t want a rolling boil—just a light simmer).
- Crack one egg into a small bowl, create a small whirlpool in the water with a spoon, and gently slide the egg into the water.
- Let it cook for about 3 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and repeat with the second egg.
- Prepare the tahini sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the tahini, minced garlic, olive oil, and a bit of water until smooth and creamy (add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency).
- Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
- Assemble your avocado toast:
- Spread the avocado mash generously over the toasted bread slices.
- Carefully place one poached egg on top of each slice.
- Drizzle the tahini sauce over the egg and avocado.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with microgreens or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if you’re feeling fancy.
