INGREDIENTS
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoons white vinegar (optional)
• 1 liters water, enough to fill a deep pot
• 1 toasted bread slice (for serving)
• 1 tablespoons cream cheese (for serving)
• 0.3 cups mashed avocado (for serving)
• 1 teaspoons olive oil (for serving)
• 0.1 teaspoons salt (for serving)
• 0.1 teaspoons black pepper (for serving)
STEPS
1. Heat the water: Bring enough water (1 liters water, enough to fill a deep pot) to a boil in a deep pot, then reduce the heat to low.
2. Strain the egg: Crack the egg (1 large egg) into a small fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, and swirl it gently so the thin, watery part of the white drains off, then carefully transfer the egg to a small bowl.
3. Create a whirlpool: Add the vinegar (1 tablespoons white vinegar (optional)) to the water and stir gently to create a whirlpool in the center of the pot.
4. Poach the egg: Place the egg in the center of the whirlpool and let it cook for 3 minutes.
5. Drain the egg: Lift the egg out with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess water.
6. Assemble and serve: Place the toasted bread (1 toasted bread slice (for serving)) on a serving plate and spread it with cream cheese (1 tablespoons cream cheese (for serving)), then add the mashed avocado (0.3 cups mashed avocado (for serving)) and top with the poached egg. Sprinkle with a little olive oil (1 teaspoons olive oil (for serving)), salt (0.1 teaspoons salt (for serving)), and black pepper (0.1 teaspoons black pepper (for serving)), and serve immediately.
