Avocado Stuffed French Toast with Poached Egg - gluten free!
Description
This gluten-free Avocado Stuffed French Toast features mashed avocado blended with lime juice, finely chopped jalapeños, salt, and pepper for a bright and mildly spicy filling. The mixture is spread between two slices of white sourdough bread. The assembled sandwich is dipped in beaten egg seasoned with salt and pepper, then fried in a combination of butter and rapeseed oil until golden on both sides, creating a crisp exterior.
A perfectly poached egg is prepared separately in water with white distilled vinegar, which adds gentle tang and helps hold its shape. This egg is placed atop the sliced and stacked French toast sandwich, finished with strands of fresh chives, and a grind of dried chili and garlic for extra flavor complexity. The contrast of creamy, spicy avocado and softly cooked egg with crispy fried bread creates a layered texture and flavor experience.
This dish can be served for breakfast or brunch, providing a satisfying meal that balances rich and fresh elements. The sourdough’s texture holds up well to dipping and frying, while the jalapeño adds a pleasant heat that can be adjusted to taste.
