Poached Egg Avocado Boats

If you’re looking for a breakfast (or brunch) that’s hearty and delicious without a crazy amount of carbs, these poached egg avocado boats are right up your alley. The avocado and egg combo delivers a generous dose of healthy fats and protein, along with a savory flavor that’ll keep your tastebuds happy and your stomach satisfied. These little breakfast boats are pretty yummy on their own, but adding a sprinkle of Smoked Real Salt as a finishing touch sets this dish apart from the sea of average egg options.

Ingredients:

1 avocado
1 lime wedge
2 eggs
½ teaspoon Smoked Real Salt
¼ jalapeno
3-4 cherry tomatoes
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions:

Cut one avocado in half and remove the pit.
Use a spoon to scoop a small well where the pit was.
Squeeze 1 lime wedge onto the avocado halves.
Season the avocado with Smoked Real Salt.
On the stovetop, bring a pot of water to a boil and poach two eggs. (Here are instructions for poaching eggs if you’ve never done it before.)
Place one egg in the well of each avocado half.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced jalapeno, diced tomato, and Smoked Real Salt.
