Ingredients

2 thick slices sourdough bread
1 ripe avocado
1 large egg
1 tbsp white wine vinegar (for poaching)
Pinch of red chili flakes
Small handful of microgreens or sprouts
Half a lemon
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil drizzle

Instructions

Toast the bread

Toast sourdough slices to golden and crispy. Set aside.

Smash the avocado

Halve and pit avocado. Scoop flesh onto toast. Smash with a fork. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Poach the egg

Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Swirl water and gently drop in cracked egg. Poach 3 minutes for a runny yolk.

Assemble

Place poached egg on top of avocado toast. Add microgreens, chili flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, and flaky salt.

💡 Chef Anna's Tip

For the creamiest smash, use a just-ripe avocado — it should yield slightly to gentle pressure. Over-ripe avocados turn stringy and brown quickly.
