Avocado Toast With Poached Egg
Calling all avocado on toast lovers! We think you can make your healthy avocado toast recipe with egg even better with the help of Gran Luchito.
Here are a few simple and easy tricks that you should keep in mind when achieving the perfect avocado toast with a poached egg that you’ll love to cook and eat:
- Sourdough bread: there’s nothing like a slice of sourdough bread toasted, to make your avocado toast taste like a million bucks.
- Get your avocados right: make sure to pick the perfect ripe avocados for this Mexican brunch recipe. A quick tip is to remove what looks like the belly button of the avocado where it used to be the stem, and if it looks green you’ll likely have a very nice green avocado inside.
- Fresh eggs: fresh free-range eggs guarantee the best results when they are poached.
- Don’t forget condiments: mayo and a bit of salsa work best, especially if it’s our homemade Chipotle Mayo. Then add a bit of Gran Luchito Crunchy Salsa Macha on top for that perfect finishing touch to your avocado breakfast toast, followed by a sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Ingredients
Guacamole:
- 3 ripe avocados
- ½ red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Gran Luchito Tomatillo Salsa (optional)
- 1 lime (juice)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- A handful of coriander
Eggs:
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 free range eggs
To Serve:
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2-3 teaspoons Gran Luchito Crunchy Salsa Macha
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to make it
- First thing is to prepare a quick guacamole. For this, cut your avocados in half, get rid of the seed and spoon out the flesh into a bowl. Mash your avocado roughly with a fork, then add the onion, Tomatillo Salsa (if using), lime juice, extra virgin olive oil and coriander. Season with a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and mix with a spoon. Once ready set aside.
- Now it’s time to poach your eggs. Bring a saucepan with ¾ full of water to just below simmering. Add the vinegar and use a wooden spoon to stir the water gently in the middle for a few seconds, creating a little whirlpool.
- Carefully break an egg into a fine mesh sieve with a bowl underneath (to catch any residue) and then transfer the egg to a cup. Trust us this step is important to achieve the best poached eggs as it will get rid of the liquid part of the egg white and turn out better once poached!
- Now pour the egg from the cup into the circulating water. It should spin the egg into a spherical shape without dispersing. Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes for soft poached eggs. There is no need to move it while it’s cooking. Once the white is firm you can remove your egg from the water with a slotted spoon and place it over kitchen paper. Repeat the same with the rest of your eggs.
- Cut 4 slices of sourdough bread and toast them. Then add a generous amount of our homemade Chipotle Mayo onto each and spread it over the surface evenly.
- To serve, place your chipotle mayo toast over plates, then add a dollop of guacamole and the poached egg on top. Finish by sprinkling some sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and Crunchy Salsa Macha on top. Delicious!

Hi Craig, that’s a great idea to mix the Chipotle Paste with regular mayonnaise when you run out of the Chipotle Mayo! Also mixing it with crab meat – excellent. So glad you are enjoying our products. Keep us posted on your thoughts and ideas!
So how did I not know that adding the chipotle mayo to my avocado and egg on toast takes it to the next level?!!!! Proper breakfast right there.
I have made this recipe so many times now. I adore the lovely subtle heat of the luchito mayo against the smooth coolness of the avocado. The runnyness and heat of the egg just catapults this dish to another stratosphere.
