How to Make Double Poached Avocado Toast Deluxe — Brunch Boss Mode 🥑🍳
- Begin by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown. The crunchiness will perfectly contrast the creamy avocado.
- While the bread is toasting, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water, poaching them for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. I like to keep an eye on them to achieve that perfect runny yolk!
- Once poached, remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess water.
- Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until creamy, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.
- Top each avocado toast with two poached eggs, creating a beautiful stack.
- Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs for that extra pop of flavor.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing zing!
Substitutions & Additions
If you want to mix things up a bit, consider these substitutions:
- Use sourdough or rye bread instead of whole-grain for a different flavor profile.
- Swap out the poached eggs for scrambled eggs or even smoked salmon for a twist.
- Add sliced tomatoes or radishes on top for a fresh crunch.
- Try different herbs like dill or chives for a unique flavor.
Tips for Success
Here are some tips to ensure your avocado toast turns out perfectly:
- Make sure your avocados are ripe for the best texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pot while poaching; it helps the eggs cook evenly.
- If you want to prep ahead, you can mash the avocado and store it in the fridge, but sprinkle a bit of lemon juice on top to prevent browning.
How to Store Double Poached Avocado Toast Deluxe — Brunch Boss Mode 🥑🍳
Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the components separately. Keep the mashed avocado in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Toast the bread fresh each time, and poach the eggs right before serving for the best experience.
FAQs
- Can I make this recipe vegan? Yes! You can skip the eggs and add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- What can I serve with this dish? A side of fresh fruit or a light salad would complement this perfectly!
- Can I use frozen avocados? While fresh is best, you can use frozen avocados if they’re thawed and mashed well.
