Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs and TRUFF Oil: A Simple Yet Delicious Brunch

Avocado toast has become a brunch staple for many, and for good reason. It's a simple yet incredibly satisfying dish that can be customized to your liking. This weekend, my oldest munchkin requested an avocado toast for breakfast, and I was happy to oblige. I decided to elevate the dish with poached eggs, a few other toppings, and a special touch suggested by my son: truffle oil.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 slice white mountain bread, toasted

• 1 tomato, diced

• 2 poached eggs

• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

• Black pepper

• Mixed greens

• Fresh fruit

• TRUFF Truffle oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the avocado: In a bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

2. Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado on the toasted bread and add some diced tomatoes.

3. Add toppings: Top with poached eggs or your choice of protein (bacon, sausage)

4. Finish with cheese, pepper, and truffle oil: Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and a generous drizzle of truffle oil.

5. Serve with sides: Serve with mixed greens and fresh fruit.

Tips for Poaching Eggs

• Use a strainer: To ensure clean poached eggs, strain the egg whites through a fine-mesh strainer before adding them to the hot water.

• Add vinegar: Adding a splash of vinegar to the hot water helps the egg whites to coagulate more quickly.

• Don't let the water boil: Make sure the water is simmering gently, not rolling boiling.
