• 2 tablespoons dukkah

This Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah ingredient list is SHORT but mighty!

The secret to epic Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah is using REALLY ripe avocados. They should yield to gentle pressure but not be mushy. Trust me on this one!

You can find amazing dukkah at most spice shops or online. I like to get mine from a local Middle Eastern market. Splurge on this one Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah ingredient – trust me. It’s worth it!

If you’re feeling fancy, a drizzle of good quality olive oil over the Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah adds a touch of richness.

1. First, toast your bread to your desired level of crispness. I like mine golden brown and slightly crunchy. This is the foundation of your Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah masterpiece.
2. While the bread is toasting, prepare your avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it in a bowl with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. I like mine slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Don’t stress – your Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah is going to be incredible.
3. Now, let’s poach those eggs! Fill a saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Add the vinegar. The vinegar helps the egg whites coagulate. This is a pro tip for Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah perfection.
4. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl. This makes it easier to gently slide them into the water.
5. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon. Carefully slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool.
6. Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks. I prefer mine at 3 minutes for a perfectly oozy yolk. Your Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah should look so good right now.
7. While your eggs are poaching, spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread. Drizzle with olive oil. This is where your Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah transforms into pure magic!
8. Remove the poached eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Place one poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
9. Sprinkle generously with dukkah. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little kick. This breakfast avocado toast is the bomb.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and prepare to be amazed! I find that this Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah takes me about 10 minutes to make.

Presentation is KEY when it comes to Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah.

Arrange the toast on a plate so the poached egg is the star. Sprinkle a little extra dukkah around the plate for a visual pop. People absolutely lose their minds when I serve this Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah at brunch.

This Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah absolutely slays at dinner parties! It is best to pair with a light salad or a cup of tomato soup.

For an Instagram-worthy presentation, try adding a few microgreens or edible flowers. A sprinkle of sea salt also looks amazing.

If you have leftover avocado, you can mash it with some lime juice and cilantro for a quick guacamole. Leftover dukkah can be used as a seasoning for roasted vegetables or grilled chicken.

For a seasonal variation, add some sliced tomatoes and basil in the summer. In the fall, try adding some roasted butternut squash. This healthy avocado toast is so versatile!

Can I make this Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah spicier?

Absolutely! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the avocado mash or sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top of the finished toast. You can also use a spicy dukkah blend.

What if I don’t have dukkah?

No problem! You can make your own dukkah by toasting nuts and seeds like hazelnuts, sesame seeds, and coriander seeds, then grinding them together with spices like cumin and paprika. Or, for a quick substitute, use a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. It has a similar nutty, savory flavor.

How do I know when my poached egg is perfectly done?

The egg white should be fully cooked, but the yolk should still be runny. Gently poke the yolk with a spoon – it should jiggle slightly. If you are still not sure, check out this avocado toast recipe with feta cheese and balsamic glaze from Piper Cooks for visuals to help you.

Can I use different types of bread?

Definitely! Sourdough, multigrain, and whole wheat bread all work well. You can even use gluten-free bread if needed. Just make sure the bread is sturdy enough to hold the avocado and egg without getting soggy.

What if my eggs keep falling apart when I try to poach them?

Make sure your water is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. The vinegar helps the egg whites coagulate, so don’t skip that step. Cracking the eggs into separate bowls before adding them to the water also helps.

Can I make this Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah vegan?

Yes! Simply omit the poached egg or replace it with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

How can I make this ahead of time?

While the Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah is best enjoyed immediately, you can prep some of the ingredients in advance. The avocado can be mashed ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator with a squeeze of lime juice to prevent browning. You can also toast the bread ahead of time. However, poach the eggs just before serving for the best results.

This Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Dukkah is more than just a meal, it’s an experience. It’s a celebration of flavor, texture, and simple ingredients that come together to create something truly special. This represents everything Cuba Queen stands for: bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a cooking experience that leaves you feeling like a total rockstar.
