Poached eggs on avocado and feta toast

The breakfast of champions: two eggs poached in simmering vinegar water — swirled into a whirlpool first — laid on thick sourdough toasted under a mash of avocado, feta, chilli flakes and lemon juice, seasoned well with black pepper. Crack the egg open a little and let the yolk run.

Poached eggs on avocado and feta toast

Swirl the water into a whirlpool before the eggs go in so the whites stay neat, give them two and a half minutes, and crack the egg open a little on top so the yolk runs over the avocado and feta.

Method

  1. 01

    Fill a large saucepan with water, add the vinegar and bring to a hard boil over a high heat.

  2. 02

    Once boiling, reduce the heat so the water is simmering, then use a spoon to swirl the water into a whirlpool. Crack in both eggs and cook for 2 and a half minutes.

  3. 03

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the avocado, feta, chilli flakes and lemon juice, and season well with black pepper.

  4. 04

    Toast the bread.

  5. 05

    Pile the avocado and feta on the toast, then put a poached egg on top of each.
