2 tbsp vinegar
4 eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
4 thick slices of tomato (1/4"- 1/2" thick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 whole wheat English muffins, split and toasted
Sauce:
1 avocado, mashed
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Fill an 8" saucepan 3/4 of the way with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Gently add eggs one at a time. Poach for 3-5 minutes on each side, until whites are set. Remove from water and set aside. Place the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the tomato slices on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Once the pan is quite hot, but not smoking, sear the tomato slices on both sides. Set aside. For the sauce: Mix together avocado, lemon juice and seasonings. Spread avocado mixture on each English muffin half, followed by a tomato slice. Top with an egg and serve. Yield: 2 servings
