Several of you mentioned adding a little heat to my January breakfast. I was feeling the need for some extra protein as well.
Poached egg on avocado toast, liberally splashed with Tapatio
.
So good, you guys.
I had a total yuppie crisis while making this - I ran out of our usual Maldon flaked sea salt
and had to use regular old table salt. I felt genuinely sad and a little put out and then I felt completely ridiculous.
P.S. Poaching eggs is really easy. I finally got up the courage to try it one weekend and now I feel silly for waiting so long. Please check out Deb's excellent post and get to it.

Yum! This is all kinds of goodness.
ReplyDeleteI've been known to have the Maldon salt melt-down too!!
For some reason I've been incredibly intimidated by paoching eggs too. I'm going to have to tackle that fear this weekend, because that looks delicious! Thanks for the step-by-step link.
ReplyDeletepoached eggs are my absolute favorite. now, if i could get my hands on some avocado.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeletethat looks great! i've always wondered about poaching eggs and never considered trying that with avocado. I think I might need to try this.
ReplyDeletehow much do you LOVE deb!?!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you jumped into my kitchen and took my breakfast! Ha! I love this combo....oh Tapatio I love you....
ReplyDeleteI'm making this for breakfast right now. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your yuppie moment. I've done the exact same thing, and then thought about putting myself in time-out for five year.
Oh man. Adding avocado & hot sauce to the poached egg on toast? Ingenious. (You know you got me hooked on the poached egg on toast, right?) I wonder if they have good avocados at the grocery store right now...
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! It's all about fresh eggs. When using eggs from my mom's farm we don't have to worry about adding vinegar to the water and the eggs cook perfectly :) I've found the grocery store eggs tend to fall apart in the water.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the breakfast inspiration!
I love adding tapatio to my breakfast in the morning! The avocado looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy husband LOVES tapatio. It's been a breakfast staple since he was a kid. I'm partial to Crystal's due to my upbringing though. With that said, this recipe looks quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteOh tapatio, always my favorite! Thank you for the original link to the egg poaching, my breakfasts have been transformed ever since!
ReplyDeleteWait...quick question on that poaching tutorial -- do you keep whirl-pooling the water after you've dropped the egg in?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Amanda
@ Amanda - I don't. But I will sometimes use a slotted spoon and move the egg around a bit, if it seems like it's going all over the place. You usually don't need to, though. Once it starts cooking it should mostly stay in place.
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing I've noticed is getting the water temp right. I bring it to a boil and then reduce it down so that it isn't boiling but you see bubbles rise up every once in a while. I tried catching the water right before it boiled, but I never get it right, so now I always let it boil and then lower the heat and stir.
I'm a Cholula girl myself, but otherwise, perfect breakfast, Rache.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love hot sauce. Brazilians make some of the best I've ever had.
ReplyDeleteI am scared to poach eggs but I will follow your friendly post and then I can finally make eggs benny at home!
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, i now have my roommate trained on sea salt and kosher. to him, the table salt tastes "harsh"
ReplyDeleteYUMMMM

@Rachel: Awesome! I convinced to give poaching a second shot! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDelete-Amanda
Yum. This looks perfect.
ReplyDeletePoaching = no gross pan (scrambled-ick) to wash out either!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious, what a kicked up breakfast!
ReplyDeleteNow, it is PERFECT. And we're all yuppies at heart. It's about life's luxuries.
ReplyDeleteYum. i'm gonna have this tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh, my husband would love this. You have just changed our Saturday morning breakfast! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteso, i know i was supposed to give up runny yolks now that i'm pregnant... but i didn't. so sue me.
ReplyDeletethis is making the plain wheat toast I'm eating right now seem so sad!! haha. I LOVE poached eggs. love love love. tried them for the first time a few years ago and it's pretty much all I ever order now when I go out to breakfast (Eggs Benedict, yum!). poaching is a bit tricky to do at home I've found, it doesn't always come out perfectly for me. I'll have to go check out Deb's post...
ReplyDeletenow back to my plain jane toast and coffee!
This looks seriously delicious. I'm going to have to give this, and the hot sauce, a try.
ReplyDeletedo they have valentina's hot sauce where you are? it's amazing and addictive. we eat it on potato chips now.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing, who would have thought!!! Thanks for inspiring me...
ReplyDeleteMexican style ! Try with some salsa roja ;)
ReplyDeletewe tried this over the weekend and it was so good! thank you :)
