Avocado Toast with Egg

Prep time: 15 minutes

Makes 4 servings

Serving size: 1 toast  

Ingredients

4 eggs

4 pieces hearty whole-grain bread

1 avocado, mashed

½ tsp. salt (optional)

¼ tsp. ground black pepper

1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt  

Instructions

1. To poach each egg, fill a 1-cup microwaveable bowl with ½ cup water. Gently crack an egg into the water, making sure it’s completely submerged. Cover with a saucer and microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the white is set and the yolk is starting to set but still soft (not runny).
