- 1 Slotted Spoon To lift poached eggs
- 1 Fork To mash avocado
Ingredients
- 4 Multigrain Loaf Slices Toasted to golden brown

Instructions
- Simmer a pot of water gently and poach four eggs for 3–4 minutes until the whites are cooked and yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

- Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto evenly across all four toasted slices.
- Top the pesto layer with a generous spoonful of the avocado mix.
- Add alfalfa sprouts and a herb salad to enhance freshness and crunch.
- Gently place a poached egg on each slice.
- Drizzle or dollop the remaining tablespoon of pesto on the eggs.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture — warm eggs with creamy avocado and crispy toast is a winner.

- Pair with fresh orange juice, iced green tea with lemon, a flat white, or sparkling water with mint and cucumber.
- Variations: Try smoked salmon, chili flakes, vegan tofu, nutty toppings, or crumbled feta.
Elevating the Experience: Pairings and Timing

Iced detoxifier, refreshing. - Flat White or Latte
The creaminess of coffee goes so well with that dish, imo. - Sparkling Water + Mint and Cucumber

Timing-wise, Green Goddess Brunch Toast hits its peak from 9:30 am – 1:00 pm (not too early for a leisurely brunch but early enough that you can get at least 80% of the day out of it!) It is also a super post-workout meal, feeding your body the nutrients it is dying for.
Tips for Success: Ingredient Selection and Storage
Great ingredients make great dishes. Here is the way to select and store them:
- Avocados: Select ones that give a little, but are not squishy when pushed.
Refrigerate ripe avocados for up to a week; store unripe ones at room temperature until they get softer. - Eggs – Get pastured or cage-free for darker yolks.
Full yolks ~ Buy from a small farm (they will gladly give you ones that are free of chickens… eggs are the same).
Store them in the fridge and use by by date. - Multigrain Bread: Look for visible seeds and make sure it is sugar-free.
Bread — Bread box for a few days, freezer to keep it fresh longer. - Homemade Basil Pesto — No doubt (toss basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil together);
but if you do not have time just buy a good one.
Store in the fridge with a bit of olive oil on top to stay protected from oxidation.
