How to make it

  1. Toast the slice of bread until lightly crisp.
  2. Slice the avocado or mash it with a fork. Spread it on the toast and add a pinch of Celtic sea salt.
  3. Heat the water in a small saucepan until it is barely simmering, then turn down the heat. Add the vinegar if you are using it.
  4. Crack the egg into a cup and gently slide it into the water. Poach for about 3–4 minutes, until the white is set; leave it longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
  5. Lift the egg out with a slotted spoon, let it drain and place it on top of the avocado. Sprinkle with a little Celtic sea salt and serve straight away.
