Avocado Toast Benedict
- For the Avocado Toast Benedict:
- 2 English muffins
- 1 avocado
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/8 teaspoon curry powder
- Small handful cilantro, torn
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup Hollandaise sauce

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper (plus more, to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard

- Bring a shallow saucepan of water to boil.
- Meanwhile, make the smashed avocado: Remove the avocado skin and pit, then roughly chop. Lightly smash to incorporate lime, cilantro, and spices. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Split and toast the English muffins. Arrange each on a plate and top with smashed avocado.
- When the water has reached a rolling boil, poach the eggs. Remove from the water and pat dry before placing each on an avocado-topped english muffin.
- Top each egg with the hollandaise, a sprinkle of mustard seeds, and the microgreens.
- Melt the butter on the stove or in the microwave until piping hot.
- Warm the blender bowl by filling with hot water and then emptying and drying the bowl.
