### Poached Egg and Avocado Toast
This simple yet tasty morning meal requires whole-grain bread, one egg, half an avocado, lemon, pepper, and sea salt. Here’s the step-by-step guide:

2. Meanwhile, toast a slice of whole-grain bread. Once toasted, slice half an avocado on top. Provide a squeeze of fresh lemon over to prevent the avocado from browning and to add a burst of freshness. Once the egg is done, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the water and gently nest it on top of the avocado toast.
3. Season your meal with a little sea salt and ground black pepper. You got yourself a fuss-free, nutrient-packed breakfast that’s ready in no more than 15 minutes.
