Yields: 1
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
This recipe is dairy free and vegetarian.
Ingredients:
1. 1 egg
2. ½ medium tomato
3. Arugula
4. Red pepper spread @traderjoes
5. ½ avocado
6. 1 sourdough bread
7. Maldon salt
8. Garlic salt, freshly ground black pepper, chili powder
Replacement suggestion: Maldon salt "comes in large, thin, uneven, crunchy salt flakes that have a very clean, pure salt taste. It is meant to be a finishing salt, used at the table in small amounts, rather than in cooking" (cooksinfo.com/maldon-salt). If you do not have Maldon salt feel free to use table salt to sprinkle onto the toast.
Instructions: (I am going to give the instruction to each part to ensure you perfect your toast)
Poached egg:
1. First, grab a small pot and fill it up with water. Place it onto the stove and let it boil on medium heat.
2. Add in 1 ½ TBSPs of white distilled vinegar.
3. Grab an egg and strain the excess egg whites, but not all of it.
4. Once the water boils, grab a spoon and create a spinning vortex in the pot. Keep swirling it and add in the egg.
5. Put on a timer for 2 ½ - 3 minutes.
6. Grab a skimmer and grab the egg and place it in a bowl.
Avocado:
1. Grab an avocado. Slice it in half. Use the half without the pit.
2. Peel the skin gently.
3. Place the avocado on a cutting board and grab a small, thin knife.
4. Slice the avocado horizontally into thin slices multiple times like shown in the picture.
5. Then gently spread the avocado slices with the tips of your fingers so it's elongated when you put it onto the toast.
Toast:
1. Grab one slice of sourdough bread and toast it.
2. Spread on red pepper spread.
Tomato:
