This recipe can be assembled in 10 minutes and best for breakfast and brunch. Real, healthy food made with simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

2 slice of sourdough bread (any bread)

1/2 of avocado

lime juice (optional)

fresh herbs (parsley, thyme or basil) (optional)

salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Bring a pot of water to boil (use enough water to cover the eggs when they lay in the bottom).

2. Drop the metal rims (outer rim only) of two mason jar lids into the pot so they are laying flat on the bottom. When the water is boiling, turn off the heat and carefully crack the eggs directly into each rim. Cover the pot and poach for 5 minutes (4 for super soft, 4:30 for soft, 5 or more for semi-soft yolks).

3. While the eggs are poaching, toast the bread and cut half of the avocado or with a bit lime juice, fresh herbs, pepper, and salt. Spread the avocado on each piece of toast.

4. When the eggs are done, use a spatula to lift them out of the water tip slightly to drain any excess water as needed. Gently remove the rim from each egg and place it on the prepared toasts. Top with fresh herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.

Notes:

Adding a teaspoon of white vinegar to the water before boiling will help to keep the egg whites together.

Most of the fats in this recipe are heart-healthy in moderation. If you are watching your cholesterol intake, you can use just one egg or substitute egg whites in place of the whole eggs.
