INGREDIENTS
1 avocado
* salt to taste
* pepper to taste
* lemon juice from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 eggs
4 tablespoons ricotta cheese
2 slices ciabatta bread, toasted

DIRECTIONS
Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and roughly dice. Remove chopped avocado into a bowl and lightly mash. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix until all of the ingredients are well blended.

Make the poached eggs: Boil a pot of water, once boiled add a pinch of salt, and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Crack the two eggs into two separate ramekins.

Quickly stir the water and create a whirlpool. Add one egg to the water, turn off the heat, and cover the pot with a lid. Let the egg sit for 4 1/2 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon. Reboil the water and repeat with the second cracked egg.

Make the avocado toast: Toast the ciabatta bread. Add two tablespoons of ricotta to each of the slices of bread. Top with mashed avocados, and poached egg. Season the poached egg with salt and pepper.

½ lemon, juiced
