Set a medium pot filled with 2-3 inches of lightly salted water and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to boil.

Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl, keeping the yolks intact, and set aside.

Cut 1 large ripe avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest, juice of 1/2 lemon, salt, and pepper to the avocado and mash with a fork, leaving some chunks.

Toast the whole grain or gluten-free bread.

Slice 4 radishes thinly.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup baby arugula with 1.5 teaspoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and gently slip the eggs into the water.

Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set.

Spread half of the avocado mixture on each slice of toast.

Place the sliced radishes onto the avocado, then top with a mound of arugula.

Using a slotted spoon, loosen the egg from the pot and place it gently over the arugula.

Sprinkle the egg with a generous pinch of zatar and optionally add Aleppo chili flakes or your favorite salsa.

Serve immediately.
