Recipe: Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of whole grain bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives, chopped (optional)
• Cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional)

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:

   • Toast the slices of whole grain bread to your desired level of crispiness.

2. Prepare the Avocado:

   • Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and drain them on a paper towel.

4. Assemble the Avocado Toast:

   • Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
   • Place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.

5. Season and Garnish:
