  • 1 perfectly ripe avocado
  • 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, finely minced
  • ¼ clove garlic, finely minced
  • Salt & freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

  • Poach two eggs.
  • Toast two slices of bread.
  • Gently drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the toasted bread.
  • Spread on the avocado mixture.
  • Top the avocado mixture with the pickled fennel mixture.
  • Top the pickled fennel mixture with the poached eggs, with one egg on each piece of bread.

  • Drizzle the top of each piece of toast with a tiny bit more extra-virgin olive oil, and serve.
