Notes
Tip: If you want to add more flavor, consider sprinkling some feta cheese or chili flakes on top of the toast before serving!
For the perfect poached egg, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar to help the egg whites coagulate. Crack each egg into a small bowl before gently sliding it into the water.
If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute Sriracha with a less spicy hot sauce or simply use a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Avocado can be seasoned with lime juice and salt for added flavor, and feel free to add toppings like cherry tomatoes or radishes for extra freshness!
Store any leftover avocado in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, reheat the toast and top with fresh ingredients before serving again.
