Poached Eggs with Avocado and Goat Cheese

Brunch is Served! A super easy lazy Sunday morning meal that's sure to cure your hunger pangs, please your taste buds and get you going for the day!!

Poached Eggs with Avocado and Goat Cheese
Serves 1
2 Eggs, the fresher the better*
1/2 an Avocado, sliced
1 oz Goat Cheese
3-4 inch piece of French Bread, split
Splash of White Vinegar**
Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

Preheat Broiler. In medium stock pot, bring 3-4 inches of water to a light boil (almost just a simmer) and add a bit of salt and a splash of vinegar (approximately 2 T, but you don't need to measure). Add eggs, one at a time, very gently into the water and give the pot a little 'swirl' after each addition (this will help any egg white that's not tight to the yolk stay intact). Cook eggs for 3-4 minutes, keeping an eye on them - What you want is to cook the whites completely, but leave a gooey, runny yolk in the center.

Meanwhile, place french bread, open faced in the broiler and toast a few mins, but not until your desired 'doneness'. Add avocado and goat cheese and toast the rest of the way. When eggs are done, remove with slotted spoon veeeerrryyyy gennttlllyyyy and place one on each side of the toast. Season with salt and lots of fresh cracked black pepper and dig in!!

*The fresher the egg, the more intact the white will be to the yolk, and the tighter your poached egg will appear.
**I know it sounds weird, but its not for flavor (you won't even taste it) - The vinegar helps the egg stay together and not scatter all through the water.
