Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe avocados
4 eggs
2 English muffins, split
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Toast the English muffins until golden brown.
Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Spread the mashed avocado on each half of the toasted English muffins.
Place a poached egg on top of the avocado on each muffin half.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes on top.
Ensure the water is not boiling when poaching the eggs to prevent them from breaking apart.
This dish can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free English muffins.
