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.

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.
