Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

Method

1. 1

   Toast the sourdough until deep golden and crisp at the edges.

2. 2

   Halve the avocado, scoop into a bowl, add lemon juice, and mash with a fork — leave it a little chunky.

3. 3

   Bring a small saucepan of water to a low simmer. Crack the egg into a ramekin, swirl the water, and slide the egg in. Cook 3 minutes for a soft yolk.

4. 4

   Spread the avocado over the toast. Lift the egg out with a slotted spoon, let it drain, and place on top.

5. 5

   Finish with flaky salt and a pinch of red-pepper flakes.
