Ingredients

Avocado and Egg Toast

  • 2 large avocados ripe
  • 1 tbsp lemon
  • 4 Eggs
  • Dash Salt and Pepper
  • 4 slices Bread or English muffin of choice Recipe uses Ciabatta Bread

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 Egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Butter melted and warm
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • Dash Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Place the sliced english muffin or bread on a baking sheet and toast until crispy .
  • Top the toast with avocado. You can slice and place on top or you can smash the avocado and add a little lemon, salt and pepper.

Poached Egg

  • Fill a medium-sized pot with water, about 2-3 inches deep. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Crack an egg into a small bowl. This will make it easier to add the egg to the water.
  • Add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar) to the water. The vinegar will help the egg whites cook properly.
  • Using a spoon, create a gentle swirl of water in the center of the pot. This will help the egg whites create an even shape.
  • Slide the egg from the bowl into the center of the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites firm and the yolk is still runny.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water onto a paper towel to absorb any water.
  • Place on your avocado toast.

Hollandaise Sauce

  • In a saucepan that is not heated, wish together the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is thickened.
  • Place the saucepan over very low heat and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes slightly thickened.
  • Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg mixture whisking constantly.
  • Cook until the sauce is smooth and thick.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the cayenne pepper along with any other spices you like.
  • You can thin out the sauce by whisking in a few drops of warm water or lemon juice if needed.
  • Drizzle on top of the avocado eggs benny.

Notes

 It’s very important to whisk constantly when making the hollandaise sauce to prevent the eggs from curdling.
