Ultimate Avocado Toast
Ingredients
1 sourdough
1 Tbs Olive Oil
1 large egg
1 Poblano “Rajas”
1 pint cherry tomato
2 oz red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 oz water
1 oz minced shallot
1 avocado
1 oz arugula
1 Tbs Cilantro, chiffonade
1 tsp grated cotija
Preparation
Poblanos: Over an open flame, roast the poblano until the skin is black. Remove the poblano from the fire, place it in a bowl, wrap it tightly in plastic, and let it steam. After 5-10 minutes gently peel the skin, remove the seeds, and cut into thin strips.
Bread: Toast the sourdough in a pan over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil and toast to your desired doneness. Remove and reserve.
Tomatoes: Cut a small X in the bottom of each cherry tomato, than place into a pot of boiling water for 45 seconds. Transfer the tomato to a bowl of ice water and once cool, peel the skin and discard the skins. Place the cherry tomatoes and minced shallot in a bowl or jar and set to the side.
In a small pot over high heat, add water, vinegar, sugar and salt. Once the salt is dissolved, pour the liquid over the tomatoes and rest overnight in the fridge.
Egg: Cook your egg to your preference.
Avocado: Mash your Avocado with some cilantro and salt.
Presentation: Plate your Avocado Toast by laying down the toast, topping with mashed avocado, arugula, pickled cherry tomatoes and garnished with cotija
