Why This Recipe Works

This simple dish combines creamy avocado with a perfectly cooked egg, making it both satisfying and nutritious. It’s quick to prepare, packed with healthy fats and protein, and works great for any meal of the day.

Kitchen Advice

- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Cook the egg to your preference—poached, fried, or scrambled all work well.
- Toast the bread until it’s golden and crisp to add a nice crunch.

Step 1

Stir the shallot, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and set it aside to let the flavors meld. In another bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a bit of salt until creamy.

Step 2

Fill a small saucepan with about 2 to 3 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Add a splash of vinegar, then lower the heat so the water is just simmering gently. Crack your egg into a small cup or ramekin, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Let it cook until the whites are fully set but the yolk is still a bit soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out and place it on a paper towel to drain. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Step 3

While the egg is poaching, toast your bread to how you like it. Once toasted, spread the mashed avocado over the bread, add a spoonful of the pickled shallots, and top everything with the poached egg. Finish it off with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper, and enjoy right away.

Serving Advice

Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or freshly ground black pepper for a little heat. Fresh herbs like cilantro or chives can brighten the flavors. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.

Storing Leftovers

Avocado tastes best fresh, so prepare it just before eating to avoid browning. If you need to store leftovers, keep the egg separate and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one day. Cover avocado with plastic wrap pressed against its surface to reduce oxidation.
