Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Fill a small pot with water, add vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Toast bread until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side in a toaster or skillet.

  3. Step 3

    Cut avocado in half, scoop into a bowl, and mash with a fork until chunky-smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Squeeze lemon over avocado, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently.

  5. Step 5

    Crack eggs into the simmering water one at a time; poach until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Spread avocado on toast, top each slice with a poached egg, and finish with flaky salt and cracked pepper.
