Steps

1. Prepare produce. Halve, pit, and scoop the avocados into a bowl; halve the lemon and chop the fresh chives if needed.
   • 2 Each avocado — halved, pitted, and scooped
   • 1 Each lemon — juiced
   • 2 tablespoons chives — chopped

   Keep the knife stable on the cutting board when cutting the avocado, lemon, and chives.

2. Prepare poaching water. Fill a medium saucepan with 3 inches of water, add white vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer with small bubbles.
   • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

   Use caution around simmering water to prevent burns.

3. Mash avocado topping. Mash the avocado with the juice from the lemon (about 2 tablespoons, to taste), olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until creamy but slightly chunky.
   • 2 Each avocado — halved, pitted, and scooped
   • 1 Each lemon — juiced
   • 2 teaspoons olive oil
   • 1/2 teaspoon salt
   • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
4. Toast bread and spread topping. Toast whole grain bread until golden and crisp, then spread the avocado mixture evenly over each slice.
   • 4 Count bread
5. Add eggs to water. Crack 1 egg into a small ramekin, swirl the simmering water gently, and slide in the egg; repeat with remaining eggs, working in batches if needed.
   • 4 Each egg

   Crack eggs into a ramekin first to help keep shell pieces out of the saucepan.

6. Poach eggs. Poach each egg for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny, or cook 1 to 2 minutes longer for firmer yolks.

   Runny yolks are not fully cooked; use pasteurized eggs or cook yolks until firm for young children, pregnant people, older adults, or anyone with a weakened immune system.

7. Assemble and serve. Place 1 poached egg on each toast, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, remaining salt, and fresh chives, then serve immediately.
   • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
   • 1/4 teaspoon salt
   • 2 tablespoons chives — chopped
