Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork, then stir in the 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp salt.

  3. Step 3

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small cup, then slide into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still soft.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the 2 toast slices. Top each with a poached egg.

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, toss the 1 cup microgreens and 6 cherry tomato halves with the 2 tbsp olive oil and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Pile the salad on top of the eggs and serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes for heat.
