Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and stir in the vinegar while you prep everything else.

  2. 2

    Halve the avocado, scoop the flesh into a bowl, add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and mash with a fork to a chunky spread.

  3. 3

    Toast the sourdough slices until deeply golden and crisp at the edges, then drizzle each with olive oil.

  4. 4

    Crack each egg into a small cup and slip it into the simmering water; poach 3 minutes for a runny yolk, then lift out with a slotted spoon and blot on a paper towel.

  5. 5

    Spread the smashed avocado thickly over the warm toast and set a poached egg on top of each.

  6. 6

    Finish with flaky salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then serve right away.
