Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 slices of whole-grain bread

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon white vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

¼ cup fresh microgreens (e.g., basil, arugula, or radish)

Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth, adjusting seasoning to taste.

    Toast the Bread: While preparing the avocado, toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown and crispy.

      Poach the Eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small cup and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or longer based on your preference.

        Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture over each slice of toasted bread. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each slice.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle microgreens over the eggs, and if desired, add red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
