Gluten-Free Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs
This isn’t my go-to, but rather an occasional weekend breakfast.
But I know people love avocado toast so I’m sharing how I make it – on occasion.
My word of advice is to add 5 aminos for more protein, and a matcha or chai latte with collagen. eggs only have 6g of protein and we need 30-40g
I like Pacha bread and Happy cCmpers.
I love adding microgreens for liver detox and clearing out circulating estrogen.
Ingredients:
-
2 slices gluten-free bread
-
1 ripe avocado
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Red pepper flakes (optional)
-
Fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or cilantro), chopped (optional)
-
Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
-
Toast the Bread:
-
Toast the gluten-free bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
-
-
Prepare the Avocado:
-
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
-
Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency.
-
Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Mix well.
-
-
Poach the Eggs:
-
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Add the white vinegar to the water.
-
Crack one egg into a small bowl or cup.
-
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool.
-
Let the egg poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set, and the yolk is still runny.
-
Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and set it on a paper towel to drain.
-
Repeat with the second egg.
-
-
Assemble the Avocado Toast:
-
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted gluten-free bread slices.
-
Place a poached egg on top of each slice.
-
-
Garnish and Serve:
-
Season the poached eggs with a bit of salt and pepper.
-
Sprinkle red pepper flakes and fresh herbs on top, if desired.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:
-
Poaching Multiple Eggs: If you’re comfortable, you can poach both eggs at the same time, but be sure to maintain a gentle simmer and avoid overcrowding.
-
Alternative Cooking Method for Eggs: If poaching eggs is challenging, you can alternatively fry or scramble the eggs and place them on top of the avocado toast.
-
Additional Toppings: Feel free to add other toppings such as sliced tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens for extra flavor and texture.
