Japanese aburi cha, melted cheddar sourdough toast, smashed avocado, poached eggs.

For brunch, there is a version of avocado toast – Japanese aburi cha, tender and sweet, on crisp sourdough toast blanketed with melted cheddar, smashed avocado and poached eggs. Excitement ensues. It is everything we love on a breakfast plate. Unfortunately, our excitement was short-lived, when we sliced into the poached eggs only to realize they were undercooked, rags of raw white and yolk pouring forth.
