→ Main Ingredients

2 slices of whole grain bread
02 -
A third of a ripe avocado
03 -
2 fresh eggs
04 -
Salt and black pepper, according to taste
05 -
A handful of fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or parsley
06 -
2 tablespoons of thinly shaved Parmesan cheese

Quartered heirloom tomatoes
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a pot of water until it boils, with enough water to submerge the eggs. Lay two mason jar outer rims flat at the base of the pot.
02 -
Switch off the heat. Crack open the eggs and drop them into the rims. Put the lid on and let them cook for about 5 minutes. For runny yolks, leave 4 minutes; soft yolks, around 4:30; for firmer, go over 5.
03 -
While the eggs are cooking, toast your bread slices and spread mashed avocado generously on top.

Scoop out the poached eggs gently using a spatula and get rid of the rims. Place the eggs on the toast. Sprinkle Parmesan, herbs, some salt, and pepper. Pair with the tomatoes on the side and serve!

Using mason jar rims makes it easy to get neat, round poached eggs.
