Smashed Avocado and Poached Egg Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 whole-grain bread slices or whole-wheat, small pieces
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice white vinegar or apple cider vinegar for substitute
- 1 egg large or extra large
- 1/2 avocado ripe
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup salad greens of choice or baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
- Toast bread.
- Poach eggs by bringing 2 inches of water with 1/4 teaspoon salt and lemon juice or vinegar to a simmer over high heat. Do not allow water to boil. If it begins boiling, reduce heat.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl or mug and slide the egg into the water. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until egg white is solid, but the yolk is still liquid. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel/napkin to absorb any excess water. Place on toast.
- Meanwhile, smash avocado with olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or pulse in a food processor or blender until pureed but slightly chunky. Spread onto one side of toast, top with salad greens or spinach if using, and place over egg toast. Enjoy!

One serving is half a sandwhich? That seems pretty unrealistic…most people eat an entire sandwhich for a meal, even for breakfast.
Mary I thought the same thing cause I was like when you cut into the sandwich wouldn’t that make the egg run everywhere? Wouldn’t that extra side not be so good the next morning; and I can’t share cause my hubby doesn’t like runny yolk, so I guess I would eat the whole thing ore make it open faced to save on calories.
Yum I’m going to add a little chili flakes or saracha to the mashed avocado.
How can this be sugar ree when bread contains sugar? So do wraps.
Suzanne, Some bread and wraps (or tortillas) do not contain any sweeteners. As with any food always read the ingredient label. If you want to know exactly what you’re eating, try our recipe for Whole Grain Tortillas. 🙂
