Perfect Avocado Toast With Soft Boiled Egg

1. 1

   To soft boil the eggs, bring a few inches water to boil in a deep saucepan over high heat. Once the water has reached a rapid simmer, lower the heat to medium-high and slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon, one at a time.

2. 2

   Cook 6 minutes for a very runny yolk (cook one more minute if you're wanting a more set yolk).

3. 3

   Remove the egg, carefully, with a slotted spoon and place directly into an ice bath (a large bowl filled with cold water and ice). Allow to set in the ice bath for 2 minutes to stop cooking.

4. 4

   To remove the peel, gently tap the bottom, flat end of the egg with a spoon, then carefully slide the spoon around the egg, in between the out layer of the egg and the inside of the peel to remove the entire peel.

5. 5

   Toast a thick slice of whole wheat bread until well-toasted, then set aside.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, mash an avocado until it's mostly pureed, then spread it evenly over the top of the slice of toast. Sprinkle the avocado spread with a little sea salt and ground black pepper.

7. 7

   Place the soft-boiled egg over the avocado spread and gently slice open, spreading to cover the entire toast. Sprinkle with the shredded white cheese and some black sesame seeds.
