Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs

I often get bored at home and end up trying out new things to cook. The other day, I was on Instagram looking for food pics (like always) and saw a photo of an avocado toast. I've already heard about it before but never really thought much of it. But since I was bored and wanted an excuse to hold off my school work, I thought I'd give it a try. Oh and I also added poached eggs randomly cause I felt like it. But honestly.. It was sooooo goooood. I didn't expect to like it that much and now I'm obsessed with avocado toast. And don't forget the poached eggs too. Many pics of avocado toast I saw don't have poached eggs on them, but seriously, the eggs make all the difference. Runny egg yolks coupled with creamy, savory smoothly mashed avocado? Yes please. And please do not toast your bread in the toaster. I mean it would come out okay and still acceptable. But baking/toasting it in the oven with butter just makes it that much crunchy and flavorful. Yeah, I know, I'm hungry too. So read on for some simple steps to make this yummy avocado toast!

INGREDIENTS:

1 whole ripe avocado
1/4 of lemon
2 slices of white bread
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, room temperature
2 eggs
Salt to taste
Cayenne pepper (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mash avocado in a bowl and squeeze in lemon juice. Add salt to taste and some cayenne pepper (this is optional if you want a bit of a kick). Set aside.
2. Spread butter on bread slices and bake in oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Spread the mashes avocado on top of each bread slice equally, set aside.
4. To poach eggs, heat water in a pot until water simmers. Add a dash of vinegar into the water. Lower heat to medium. Crack each egg individually into a bowl and pour the egg from the bowl into the simmering water (this can prevent egg from breaking). Create a smooth whirlpool in the water to bind the egg whites with the yolk. Once it is ready, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water with a a slotted spoon and place each egg on top of the avocado toast.
