First post!.... and Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

This delicious brekkie is a quick one to make and consists of a few simple, clean ingredients. It is full of clean protein, gluten-free whole grains, and healthy fat. Don't fear the poached egg- it's a bit tricky but can be mastered.  This You Tube video by Julia and Jacques will teach you technique, tips, and timing. And if you mess up, no one's watching. I love to make this on a lazy weekend morning, and serve with a giant mug of freshly brewed coffee with almond milk. 

Personally, I like my egg in that magic gooey consistency between liquid and solid, which equates to 4 minutes in boiling water before the ice bath. 

Recipe:
Makes 2 
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes
2 slices whole grain gluten free bread (I like Canyon Bakehouse Whole Grain or Udi's Millet Chia)

Instructions:
In a bowl, smash avocado, lemon juice and olive oil with a fork until creamy. Mix in salt, pepper, chili flakes and give it a whirl. Poach your eggs as instructed above. Meanwhile, toast your bread. Top each slice of toast with a big scoop of avo smash, and then top each with "the icing on the cake," the egg. 

Enjoy!
