Keep yourself full until lunch with this healthy breakfast booster. The delicious avocado spread pairs well with the runny poached egg. If you love eggs and avocado, then I'm sure you'll love combining the two into this heart-healthy breakfast. Perfect start of the day after the 4th of July celebrations!
Ingredients (serves 2)
2 fresh eggs
1/2 avocados mashed
1/2 cup sliced tomato
1/4-1/2 lime, juice only
Sea salt and black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder or paste to taste (optional)
2-4 slices bread of your choice
1/4 cup fresh chopped chives
Instructions
For Egg poaching methods
- Method 1: Add a little vinegar to a pan of simmering water. Crack eggs individually into a cup, make sure yolk stays intact. Create a whirlpool in the water so the egg white will wrap around the yolk. Slowly tip the egg into the water, white first. Leave to cook for three minutes. Remove with a spoon from the water with a spoon when cooked. Drain onto kitchen paper.
- Method 2: fill a one-cup microwavable bowl with ½ cup water. Delicately crack an egg into the water, making sure it's totally covered. Cover with a microwave-ready dish or saucer and cook on high for one minute. The white should be firm, but the yolk should still be runny.
- Method 3: fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water, just enough to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a gentle boil and turn off the heat. Place the outer rim of 2 (Mason) jars in the bottom of the saucepan. Crack one egg into a small dish and gently pour into one of the jar rims. Repeat with the second egg. Cover and let sit for 4-5 minutes (4 for really soft, 4:30 for soft,
For the avocado spread
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl or blender. Mash/blend until well combined
- Toast bread slices and top with avocado spread, tomato slices, and the poached eggs. Garnish with chives to serve.

That looks and sounds amazing! I love avocado but unfortunately it is out of season down here in the Southern Hemisphere so I'll have to wait a few months before I can make it.
Looks delicious though and thanks for sharing.
Thanks @ecentrally for your comment! I think I would have serious withdrawal symptoms during these months. For some reason, it seems to be avocado season in Cambodia all year round! Feeling very lucky! have a great day ;)
Looks lovely!
Thanks my friend ;) Have a great day!

Hey Amy thanks for any healthy share , happy holidays !
Thank you! You too ;)
Thanks, now I'm hungry :)
Hehe... then eat! We have some leftover avocado spread if you are quick ;)
One of my favorite breakfasts- so many possibilities too!
True that. What's your favorite avocado toast combo?
Toasted multigrain bread+avocado+smoked salmon+lemon juice!!!
Also, if you can find everything bagel seasoning, just toast+avocado+everything bagel seasoning+lime juice!! So good!!!
Ohh my hubby would love the smoked salmon... I don't eat meat or fish very often and don't like smoked foods. I know I'm prob one of the few that doesn't like salmon and bacon hehe! It's gonna be hard to find the seasoning here in Cambodia cause convenient foods are very limited here. I'll keep my eye open. Thanks for the tip!
Another idea is chili-lime seasoning if you like heat (I am a big fan of spicy ;) )
Ooooh!! That is a perfect breakfast/lunch! Thanks for the idea!!
Enjoy! Gotta love those avocados ;) Thanks for your comment!
You're welcome!
delicioso
It sure was delicious! Thanks @freddy90!
Sounds really yummy. :) Avocado is a so good ingredient. @amy-goodrich
We love avocado! Can you easily find avocados where you live? I'm so happy we have the here and really cheap. Only $2 a kilo. Have a great day!
Wow! It is not that cheap. :)
Looks so nice, I love avocado a lot, and avocado bubble tea, lol.
Thanks @shenchensucc! Never tried the avocado bubble tea... thanks for the tip ;)
