"These take poached eggs to a new level :) Use thick slices of a wholegrain bread or use whatever you have on hand or prefer. Makes a nice meal for brunch, lunch or even an easy dinner :) The cooking time is for bringing the water to a simmer and poaching the eggs. If you are short of time or don't have lemon or lime juice just mash half an avocado straight onto each slice of toast, sprinkle with salt & pepper and follow rest of recipe."

The recipe made a delicious brunch dish served with additional avocado and fresh sliced tomatoes. The recipe was reduced to 2 servings and served on a toasted gluten free bagel. Recipe #118761 was used to poach the eggs. The avocado and egg flavors work very well together. Made for Aussie Swap.

What a lovely recipe, thank you so much for sharing. It made the best breakfast. So quick and easy, with excellent results. I poached my eggs in a little vinegar, salt and water. They were perfectly poached, great textures, golden and runny. We really enjoyed the addition of the avocado, it adds a nice rich element to the dish. I garnished with gruyere, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. I used white bread, (am allergic to whole wheat). I can't wait to make this again. Made for Best of 2013.
