# How To Make It:

02 - While eggs cook, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
04 - In a large bowl, toss mixed greens and cherry tomatoes with half of the dressing until evenly coated.
05 - Arrange toasted bread on serving plates. Top each with sliced avocado and dressed greens.
06 - Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Drizzle with remaining dressing and garnish with chives and flaky sea salt.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • You get that restaurant quality breakfast without leaving your kitchen or spending a fortune
  • The combination of warm toast, creamy eggs, and fresh greens hits every texture and flavor craving
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes but feels like something you'd order at a fancy brunch spot
02 -
  • The ice bath step is non negotiable if you want consistent soft boiled eggs every single time
  • Room temperature eggs prevent cracking when they hit the boiling water and cook more evenly
  • Rubbing toast with a cut garlic clove while it's still warm adds an incredible aromatic layer
03 -
  • Use the widest pan you have for boiling eggs so they don't crack against each other
  • Invest in a good olive oil since it's not cooked and its flavor really shines through
  • Extra dressing keeps in the fridge for a week and makes future mornings even faster
