- 1
Take the eggs out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before starting - a room-temperature egg poaches better than a cold one.
- 2
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under the grill until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
- 3
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a bowl with a spoon. Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, then roughly mash with a fork leaving some chunks for texture.
- 4
Fill a saucepan with water to about 8 cm high. Bring to a gentle simmer (around 90°C - small bubbles rise without frank boiling). Add white vinegar.
- 5
Crack each egg individually into a ramekin or cup. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon. Gently slide the first egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 3-4 minutes depending on egg size, until the whites are set but the yolks still runny. Remove with an egg skimmer and drain on paper towels. Repeat for each egg.
- 6
Cut the tomatoes into thin slices or halve cherry tomatoes.
- 7
Spread a generous amount of avocado mash on each toasted bread slice. Arrange tomato slices on top. Add green shoots, distributing them evenly.
- 8
Gently place a poached egg on each toast. Crumble feta cheese around and over the egg.
- 9
Season with fleur de sel, freshly ground black pepper, and flaked pepper if you like it spicy. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few fresh basil leaves.

Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm and cold: crispy toast, fresh avocado, and hot eggs.
💡 Chef's Tip
The secret to perfect poached eggs lies in their freshness - the fresher the egg, the more the whites will set around the yolks without dispersing. If you're cooking multiple eggs at once, place them in a bowl of warm water to keep them warm while assembling the toast. For avocado, always squeeze a lemon slice immediately after cutting to prevent browning.
