🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

    Toast sourdough slices until deeply golden and crunchy.
  2. 2
    Immediately rub the cut end of a raw garlic clove over the surface of hot toast.
  3. 3
    Mash avocado with lemon juice, flaky salt, and black pepper; divide across both toasts.
  4. 4
    Poach eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer with 1 tbsp vinegar. Create a vortex and drop egg into center; poach for 3 minutes until white is set and yolk is jammy.
  5. 5
    Carefully lift poached eggs with slotted spoon, blot dry, and place on avocado toast.

    Drizzle with spicy chili crunch oil and finish with flaky sea salt and microgreens.
💡 Chef's Insider Tip: Rubbing raw garlic over the rough toasted sourdough infuses garlic aroma without any raw biting garlic chunks.

💬 Kitchen FAQs & Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about making Gourmet Avocado Toast with Jammy Poached Eggs & Chili Crunch? Here are chef-tested answers, storage advice, and easy substitutions.

What is the secret to a jammy poached egg with a liquid center?

Use fresh cold eggs, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to simmering (not violently boiling) water, create a gentle whirlpool, drop the egg into the center, and cook for exactly 3 minutes.

What bread makes the best avocado toast?

Thick-sliced, toasted artisan sourdough bread provides the perfect sturdy, crunchy foundation that doesn't go soggy under creamy mashed avocado.

What is chili crunch / chili crisp and where do I find it?

Chili crunch is an infused chili oil packed with crispy fried garlic, shallots, sesame seeds, and chili flakes. It is available in most grocery stores and adds spicy, savory crunch.

How do I keep mashed avocado bright green?

Mash the avocado with fresh lemon or lime juice and salt immediately before assembling. The citric acid prevents oxidation and enzymatic browning.
