Gluten free Avocado Toast is easy, trendy, healthy and delicious. It's all about the combination. My husband says it's the Parmesan, I think it's the radishes, we agree juicy tomatoes finish off this plate for a great weekend breakfast.
I like this breakfast with lots of coffee but some occasions call for a special drink. Prosecco Sangria anyone?

Ingredients
This breakfast sounds easy but the trick is cooking the eggs perfectly and having a perfectly ripe avocado. Both are considered culinary feats!
- gluten free English muffins
- avocado
- eggs
- Finishing: Parmesan cheese, radish and tomato
See recipe card for exact amounts.
Instructions
Learn to poach eggs exactly the way you like them. My husband says lightly brush egg poaching rings with oil so the egg comes out easily. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and rest the spoon, still holding the egg, on a dry dishcloth. This absorbs some of the water and prevents soggy toast.
Substitutions & Variations
I've listed all my favourite ingredients but substitute away to find yours.
Bread - I use my own homemade bread (when available) for the English muffins.
Avocado - Use slices instead of mashed avocado.
Eggs - Poached, fried or basted, it's up to you.
Tomatoes - Add a sliced tomato on top of the avocado for a juiciness in every bite.
Get The Tools
We have tried every method to poach eggs including individually wrapping each egg in plastic wrap and boiling it. I do not have a favourite method and I actually prefer not to do it. My husband is the egg expert and I like it that way. Here are a few options if you're still on that journey.
Top Tip for Ripe Avocado
Learn how to have ripe avocados when you want them. Ripen avocados on the counter then put them in the fridge so they don’t over ripen. Or do it the other way, keep avocados hard in the fridge to slow the ripening process, move them to the counter as you want them to soften. It takes patience but it's worth it every time you have a perfect avocado.

Poached Eggs - Jim's Method
- Brush oil on egg poaching rings and place them in a frying pan. Add water half way up the side of the rings. Add vinegar.
- Break each egg into a small cup to efficiently pour into the rings.
- Bring water to a boil, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and pour eggs into each ring.
- Cover and cook 90 seconds-2 minutes, depending how soft you like them.
- Using a slotted spoon remove egg and ring from the water. Rest it on a dry dishcloth to absorb some water and lift the ring off. Slide onto avocado toast.
