Smashed egg & avo bagel

Smashed egg & avo bagel

A gourmet breakfast staple featuring chewy toasted bagels topped with buttery smashed avocado and perfectly poached eggs with golden runny yolks

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole Plain or Sesame Bagel, sliced in half
  • 1 medium Ripe Avocado
  • 2 fresh Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 pinch Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Cilantro or Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your toaster and bring a small saucepan of water to a light simmer.
  2. Mash the avocado flesh in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy
  3. Add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water and create a gentle swirl.
  4. Toast the bagel halves until golden brown and spread with the avocado mixture.
  5. Gently drop eggs into the water and poach for 3 minutes until whites are set.
  6. Lift eggs with a slotted spoon, drain on a paper towel, and place on the bagels.
  7. Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Always dab the bottom of poached eggs on a paper towel to prevent a soggy bagel.
  • Fresh eggs are essential as the whites hold their shape better during poaching
  • Season the avocado mash directly rather than just the top for better flavor depth
