Step 1
Bring a shallow pot of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
Toast the bread until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 3
Add vinegar to the simmering water. Crack the egg into a small cup, then slide it into the water and poach until whites set but yolk jiggles, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Halve the avocado and scoop the flesh onto the toast. Mash with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky.
Step 5
Lift the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and set it on top of the avocado toast.
Step 6
Sprinkle with flake salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
