👨‍🍳 Method

For the Boiled Egg

  1. 1
    Bring a pot of water to a boil, deep enough to cover the eggs by about 2 cm.
    StovePot
  2. 2
    Gently lower the eggs into it with a spoon.
  3. 3
    Turn down the heat slightly and simmer 9 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end. Slice the eggs.
    Ice bath
    💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.

To assemble

  1. 5
    Toast the bread slices in the toaster until it is crisp and golden.
    Pop-up toaster
  2. 6
    Mash the avocado with a fork with the lemon juice, salt and black pepper and spread on the bread.
  3. 7
    Place on the avocado an egg on each slice.
    💡Add the egg just before serving: toast that sits under a hot egg goes soft, and the avocado spread turns brown.
  4. 8
    Drizzle the olive oil and sesame oil on top and sprinkle the sesame seeds and hot paprika over it and serve immediately.
