Instructions
Toast the Bread
Toast the bread until golden brown and crisp. You want a sturdy base that can handle avocado and egg without turning soggy. A toaster works fine, but a skillet adds extra flavor if you have time.Poach the Eggs
Bring about 3 inches of water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Add white vinegar if using—it helps the egg whites set faster. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Poach for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny.Remove with a slotted spoon and let excess water drain.Prepare the Avocado
Slice the avocado thinly. Arrange it evenly over the toast and season with salt and pepper. A squeeze of lemon juice helps keep it bright and adds balance.Assemble
Top each slice with a poached egg, shaved Parmesan, chopped herbs, and extra cracked black pepper. Serve immediately while the toast is warm.
