Instructions
1
Mash avocado with lime
Start by mixing the shallot, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then set it aside to let the flavors meld. In another bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a bit of salt until creamy.
2
Poach the Egg
Next, heat a couple of inches of water in a small saucepan until it’s boiling, then add a splash of vinegar and turn the heat down so the water is just simmering gently. Crack your egg into a small cup or ramekin, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Let it poach for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolk is still a little runny. Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg out and place it on a paper towel to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Assemble Avocado Toast
Toast your bread to how you like it and spread the mashed avocado on top. Add a spoonful of the pickled shallots, then gently place the poached egg over everything. Finish with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper, and enjoy it right away!

Storage Tips
It’s best to eat this immediately for the best texture and flavor. If you have leftover avocado, store it in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to prevent browning. Cooked eggs can be refrigerated and eaten within a day.
