Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

Toast the bread slices in a dry skillet or toaster until golden brown and crispy.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Mash the avocado with a fork, mix in a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then spread the mixture over the toasts.

Make the poached egg: bring water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan and add 1 tsp of vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slip it into the water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set while the yolk remains runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and pat dry with a paper towel.
