Method

1. 1

   Mise en place

   Gather all ingredients and equipment. Fill a small saucepan with about 4 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Slice the 0.25 piece of Lemon and pit the 0.5 piece of Avocado.

   5 min
2. 2

   Season the water

   The water should now be producing small bubbles like champagne at the bottom of the pot. Add the 15ml (1 tbsp) Apple Cider Vinegar to the water. Do not add salt to the water, as it can break up the egg whites.

   Mash the avocado

   While the water continues to simmer, scoop the 100g (0.5 piece) Avocado into a small bowl. Add the juice from the 0.25 piece of Lemon, 5ml (1 tsp) Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and 1g (0.25 tsp) Kosher Salt. Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached.

   Toast the bread

   The avocado mash is ready, so now place the 50g (1 slice) Sourdough Bread into a toaster or under a broiler. Toast until the edges are dark golden and the surface is rigid enough to support the weight of the toppings.

5. 5

   Poach the egg

   The bread should now be toasted and golden. Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water, then carefully slide the 1 Large Egg into the center. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring.

   Assemble the toast

   The egg is almost finished poaching, so spread the prepared avocado mash evenly over the warm Sourdough Bread. Ensure the mash reaches all the way to the edges of the crust.

   Garnish and serve

   The egg is now perfectly set. Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg, dabbing the bottom with a paper towel to remove excess water, and place it on the toast. Sprinkle with 0.5g (1 pinch) Black Pepper (ground) and 0.5g (0.25 tsp) Dried Chili Flakes.
