For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil over the assembled toast. The shallots can be pickled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you prefer a firmer yolk, poach the egg for an additional minute. Experiment with different types of bread to find your favorite pairing. Sourdough or multigrain are excellent choices.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Quick-Pickle the Shallots: In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced shallots with red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let this mixture sit and mellow while you prepare the other components. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Prepare the Avocado: In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt until you achieve your desired consistency – chunky or smooth. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Poach the Egg: Fill a small, shallow saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add white vinegar to the water. Crack the egg into a small ramekin. Gently swirl the simmering water to create a vortex, then carefully slide the egg from the ramekin into the center of the vortex. Poach for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess water. Season with salt and pepper. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Toast the Bread: Toast the slice of whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crispness. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Assemble and Serve: Place the toasted bread on a plate. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toast. Top with a generous portion of the pickled shallots, followed by the poached egg. Sprinkle with a pinch of Aleppo pepper for a touch of heat and serve immediately.
