Sweet Pea and Avocado Toast
Servings

Prep Time
5 minutes
Cook Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup frozen petite peas (thawed)
- 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (from 1/2 lime)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (from 1 lime)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 avocado (halved, pit removed and diced in the skin)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 4 eggs
- 4 3/4- inch slices of a batard loaf or other small rustic bread loaf (toasted)
- Dried pequin chiles or red pepper flakes (optional)
- Flaked salt (such as Maldon, optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor combine the peas, mint, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and olive oil. Pulse until the peas are roughly chopped. Add the avocado and pulse to combine and form a coarse spread. Set aside.
- In a shallow medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water with the vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Adjust the temperature to maintain the gentle simmer (don't allow it to boil). One at a time, break each egg into a small bowl, swirl the water with your spoon, creating a vortex, and gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Use a slotted spoon to gently coax the egg whites up and around the yolk.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs (depending on the size of your pan, it may be easier to do just 2 eggs at a time so you can keep an eye on them and not crowd the pan). Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolk is still soft when touched. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain well on a paper towel–lined plate.
- Spread a good amount of the pea puree on each piece of toast. Top with a poached egg. If using, crush 2 pequin chiles on the top of each egg and crunch a small pinch of flake salt over the top.

I liked the toast with egg. I did not like the flavor of peas mixed in with Avocado. May be next time I will steam the peas. Had raw pea smell. Over all I liked the dish.I added Bagel seasoning and red pepper flakes and black pepper.
This was very unique and tasty! Made full recipe for 2 of us, thinking the more, the better. Not the case. The flavors were a little overwhelming by the end. Will definitely make again, but only half a recipe.
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try next weekend! I am obsessed with avocado toast!! My bf thinks its silly but I have been seeing lots of versions of it lately in magazines, blogs, and now your site! Looking forward to trying this one!
