Method

  1. 1.

    Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar.

  2. 2.

    Toast sourdough slices until golden and crunchy.

  3. 3.

    Halve avocados, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Roughly mash with a fork -- keep it chunky. Add lemon juice, salt, and chilli flakes. Mix gently.

    Don't over-mash -- texture is everything.

  4. 4.

    Poach eggs for 3 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.

  5. 5.

    Pile smashed avocado onto toast, halve cherry tomatoes on top, then crown with a poached egg. Drizzle with olive oil and finish with salt flakes.

Use Hass avocados for the best flavour and texture.
