- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 ½ tsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2 slices bread wholesome

- Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon zest, the juice from half a lemon, 2 teaspoons oil, salt, and pepper to taste, and stir and mash with a fork to combine. It does not need to be smooth. Toast the bread.
- Slice the radishes.
- Add lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to the arugula and mix well.
- Once the water is boiling turn the heat down so it’s just simmering. Gently slip the eggs right into the simmering water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until egg white is set. Turn heat off.
- Spread 1/2 of the avocado mixture on the toast. Top with sliced radish. Top with a mound of baby arugula.
- Using a slotted spoon, loosen the egg carefully from the pan and place the poached egg over the arugula.
- Sprinkle the Egg with salt, pepper and a generous pinch of Zaatar spice. Add aleppo chili flakes if you like or a drizzle of your sauce of choice.
- Serve immediately while yolks are still warm!
