01
Step 1
Start by mixing 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 it’s nice and creamy.

Step 2
Next, 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 water. Let it poach for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolk is still a little soft. Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out and place it on some paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3
Toast your bread to how you like it, then spread the mashed avocado over the top. Add a spoonful of the pickled shallot for a bit of tang, then gently place the poached egg on top. Finish with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper, and enjoy right away!

How to serve
Serve with a sprinkle of chili flakes or fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for extra flavor. A side of fresh fruit or a small salad can round out the meal nicely without overpowering the simple toast.
Storage & leftovers
Avocado toast is best enjoyed immediately to keep the bread crisp. If you need to store leftovers, keep the avocado and egg separate from the toast and assemble just before eating to avoid soggy bread. Refrigerate any unused avocado with a bit of lemon juice to slow browning.
