2
Crack each egg into a small cup, stir the water in a circle and slide in one egg.
💡The vinegar sets the white quickly, and the whirlpool wraps it around the yolk: the egg stays round instead of spreading through the water.
3

Pop-up toaster
5
Place on the bread 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.
6
Drizzle the olive oil on top and sprinkle the black pepper over it and serve immediately.
