When poaching eggs you always want to make sure to use fresh eggs. We use organic, pasture-raised eggs like the ones found here: eggs.
For the toast, since I tend to avoid gluten, I am using grain-free bread from Base Culture. You can find it online here: base culture. If you are not gluten-free, you can use any bread that you’d like.
How to Poach Eggs
It’s no secret that there are many different ways of poaching eggs. For this poached eggs recipe, I am using an egg poacher. It makes the best-poached eggs in just three minutes. You can find this particular egg poacher online here: egg poacher.
I’ll keep it simple because you can find the detailed instructions for how to use an egg poacher here: How to poach an egg in a poacher.
Simply, fill a pot with enough water to cover the holes in the egg poachers. Heat the water on medium-high heat until it starts to simmer.
I like to add a splash of white vinegar to the water. The vinegar will help to solidify the egg whites during the egg poaching process.
When the water begins to simmer/low boil crack the eggs into the open holes. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
This egg poacher simulates the same cooking process as the traditional poached egg water bath. The main difference is that the poacher keeps the egg contained in one place.
Once the eggs enter the water you start a timer. The cooking time for the perfect egg depends on how you like your eggs. For me, three minutes in the simmering water gives me cooked egg whites, with creamy, slightly runny egg yolks.
When the time is up, remove the egg poachers from the water. Then use a slotted spoon, like this one: spoon, to gently remove the poached eggs from the hot water.
Transfer the poached egg to a paper towel to remove any excess water being plated.
How to Assemble Poached Eggs Recipe on Avocado Toast
While the eggs are cooking in the water, make sure to toast the bread, and mash a ripe avocado in a small bowl.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of toast.
Next, carefully place the poached eggs onto each piece of toast with the avocado mash.
Then add a few sliced cherry tomatoes, micro-greens, or other fresh herbs, and salt and black pepper to the poached eggs.

Poached Eggs Recipe for Egg Lovers
This easy healthy breakfast is the best way to start the day. It offers the perfect balance of flavors and a nice dose of good fats.
Eggs are a good source of protein which also makes this an ideal breakfast dish.
If you prefer your egg yolks more on the runny side then the cooking time should be reduced to between 2-3 minutes. If you like your eggs cooked all the way through to resemble hard-boiled eggs then increase the cooking time to close to 4 minutes.
