Crisp sourdough, smashed avocado, creamy ricotta and a soft poached egg — this cafe-style avocado toast starts with bread toasted to perfection on the BALMUDA The Toaster Artisan Bread Mode. A fresh, satisfying breakfast or brunch for two.
Ingredients
- 2 slices country sourdough bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 large avocado, pitted
- 4–5 tbsp fresh ricotta cheese
- ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and coarse black pepper, to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Method
- Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs (about 3 inches) and heat to a gentle simmer.
- Toast the bread on Artisan Bread Mode for 3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- While the bread toasts, scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl, squeeze in the lemon, mash with a fork and add a pinch of salt.
- Add the white vinegar to the simmering water. Crack each egg into a small dish and gently slide it into the water; poach for about 4 minutes.
- Spread half the avocado on each slice of toast, add a layer of fresh ricotta and top with a poached egg.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Serve straight away.
Tip: For an extra-crisp base, choose a slightly thicker slice of sourdough so it holds the toppings without going soft.
