    15 Minutes
  • Cook TIME
    10 Minutes
Ingredients
  • 4 slices of artisanal bread
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Directions
  1. Begin by toasting the artisanal bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the bread is toasting, halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash until it reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Poach the eggs by bringing a pot of water to a simmer, adding a tablespoon of vinegar, and carefully slipping in the eggs one at a time. Cook for about 4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer texture.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices, then carefully place a poached egg on top of each.
  5. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you like a little heat, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.

The humble avocado toast has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, becoming a staple in brunch menus and a favorite among health enthusiasts. But the Algorithmic Avocado Toast is not your run-of-the-mill avocado toast; it's a sophisticated take on this beloved dish, inspired by the culinary prowess of an Iron Chef.

Our intention was to create a dish that thrives on simplicity yet surprises with complexity. The idea was to take the classic avocado toast and elevate it, not just by adding a poached egg, but by considering the harmony of flavors and textures that make up the entire dish.

This dish's distinction lies in the details - the use of artisanal bread for a robust flavor and sturdy base, the perfectly poached egg that adds a layer of indulgence with its oozing yolk, and the sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat that contrasts beautifully with the creaminess of the avocado. The addition of fresh cilantro leaves also provides a refreshing contrast and a splash of color, making the dish as visually appealing as it is delightful to the palate.

With its exciting blend of flavors and satisfying textures, the Algorithmic Avocado Toast is a testament to the wonders an Iron Chef can bring to even the simplest of dishes. It's a recipe that's both familiar and innovative, making it a perfect addition to your culinary repertoire.
