Begin by preheating your toaster or griddle to a medium-high setting. Toast two slices of whole grain bread until golden brown, roughly 3-5 minutes.

While the bread toasts, slice a ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork until desired consistency.

Season the mashed avocado with salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice.

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Create a whirlpool with a spoon and gently slide in the egg. Poach for 3-4 minutes.

Spread the creamy avocado generously over the toasted bread, then place the poached eggs on top.

Finish by sprinkling shaved Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. Add optional toppings like quartered heirloom tomatoes or chili flakes before serving.
