Poached Egg Sandwich with Chives

Recipe makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

2 slices low-carb bread (almond flour or psyllium-based)
1 ripe avocado
1 large egg
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp olive oil or butter for toasting the bread

Instructions:

Bring water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan. Add a splash of vinegar if desired. Crack the egg into a small cup and gently lower it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the white is set but yolk is soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain.

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and half of the chopped chives.

Lightly brush both slices of low carb bread with olive oil or butter and toast in a pan or grill press until golden and crisp.

On one slice of toasted bread, spread the mashed avocado mixture. Add a layer of baby spinach, place the poached egg on top, sprinkle with the remaining chives, and finish with the second slice of bread.
