Poached Eggs with Smashed Avocado and Tomatoes

Poached Eggs with Smashed Avocado and Tomatoes is a simple breakfast recipe, but it is packed full of protein, healthy fatty acids, and fiber. Sometimes simple is the best. Besides, this easy recipe takes only 10 minutes from start to finish. Meanwhile, it looks like you made a special breakfast. What’s not to love?

For this recipe, I try to use the freshest eggs possible, as they have firmer whites and hold their shape better while cooking. Also, I prefer to crack eggs first into ramekins, then slide them into the water. For a firm yet tender white and runny yolk, poach the eggs for 2-3 minutes. And don’t forget to lower the heat before sliding eggs into boiling water.

To make the Poached Eggs with Smashed Avocado and Tomatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
