Saturday Brunch Bliss 

Saturday Brunch Spotlight
Fresh Avocado Toast with Poached Egg & Herbed Tomatoes

🥑🍞 Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs and Herbed Cherry Tomatoes

A fresh, Instagram-worthy brunch plate with creamy avocado, runny poached eggs, and a bright burst of marinated tomatoes on crispy sourdough.

🍽️ Ingredients (Serves 2):

For the toast:

  • 2 slices crusty sourdough bread (or multigrain)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

  • Optional: red pepper flakes or hot sauce

For the toppings:

  • 4 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or fresh basil, chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • White vinegar (for poaching)

  • Optional: microgreens or arugula for garnish

🔥 Preparation:

Step 1 – Toast the Bread:
Lightly brush bread with olive oil and toast in a pan or oven until golden and crispy. Set aside.

Step 2 – Make the Avocado Spread:
Mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Keep it slightly chunky for texture. Add red pepper flakes if you like some heat.

Step 3 – Marinate the Tomatoes:
In a small bowl, toss halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs. Let sit while you poach the eggs.

Step 4 – Poach the Eggs:
Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar. Crack eggs into a ramekin, swirl the water to create a whirlpool, and gently drop the egg in. Cook for about 3 minutes for runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Step 5 – Assemble Your Toast:
Spread avocado onto the toasted bread. Top with poached eggs, spoon marinated tomatoes over everything, and garnish with microgreens or arugula.

🌿 Serving Ideas:

  • Serve alongside fresh fruit or a light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette.

  • Pair with iced green tea, cucumber-mint lemonade, or a chilled mimosa.

  • For protein lovers, add a slice of smoked salmon or crispy turkey bacon.
