Method
STEP 1
Start by toasting your bread slices until golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or a grill pan for this.
STEP 2
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
STEP 3
Mash the avocado with a fork, adding a pinch of salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice if desired. Adjust to your taste.
STEP 4
Fill the swan egg poacher with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Make sure the water doesn’t boil too vigorously.
STEP 5
Crack an egg into each compartment of the poacher.
STEP 6
Cover the poacher and let the eggs cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust the time based on how well-done you like your yolks.
STEP 7
Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.
STEP 8
Carefully remove the poached eggs from the poacher and place one on top of each avocado toast.
STEP 9
Season with additional salt and pepper, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes or chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.
STEP 10
Drizzle with olive oil for added flavour, if desired.
