Tofu offers a plant-based option while being cost-effective.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Take unsalted butter at room temperature and smear about 0.5 tablespoons on each slice of bread.

Place the buttered bread in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Fill a large deep skillet halfway with water and bring it to a simmer.

Add distilled white vinegar to the simmering water.

Crack eggs into the simmering water quickly to avoid dropping the temperature.

Set a timer for 1 minute and let the eggs cook.

After 1 minute, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for exactly 5 minutes.

While the eggs are cooking, split open a ripe avocado and scoop it out into a bowl.

Add chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado and mash it together until combined.

After 5 minutes, remove the poached eggs using a slotted spoon.

Take a piece of toasted bread, spread a layer of the avocado mash on top, and place a poached egg in the center.

Sprinkle black pepper and a tiny bit of paprika on top before serving.
