Chilli Cream Cheese Poached Egg on Toast

  • Servings: 1
  • Cook Time: 10 mins
Ingredients
  • 1 slice of bread of choice
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley or ½ teaspoon dried
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 egg
Method
  1. Place the bread slices in a toaster or preheat a pan with butter or oil over medium heat. Toast until golden brown and crisp.
  2. Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a simmer (gentle bubbles). You can add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water to help the eggs hold their shape (optional).
  3. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl.
  4. Gently swirl the simmering water with a spoon to create a small vortex.
  5. Immediately slide each egg from the bowl close to the center of the swirling water.
  6. Simmer for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or slightly longer for a firmer yolk.
  7. Spread the softened cream cheese on the toasted bread. Top with the mashed avocado optional.
  8. Gently remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon. Drain any excess water by placing them on a paper towel for a moment.
  9. Place the poached egg on top of each avocado toast. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, garlic salt, chilli oil, and additional black pepper to taste.

Replace with fried egg if shorter on time.
