💡 Cooking Tips

• Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
• Add a splash of vinegar to the poaching water to help the egg whites set better.
• For easier poaching, crack each egg into a separate small bowl before adding to the water.
• Ensure the water is at a gentle simmer to prevent the eggs from breaking apart.
• Customize your toast with additional toppings like cherry tomatoes or a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flavor.
