- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado: Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl, add lime juice, and mash to your preferred consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Poach the Egg: Heat water in a small pot to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl or cup and gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the white is set but the yolk remains soft. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spread the mashed avocado at the bottom of your serving bowl. Gently place the poached egg on top of the avocado. Arrange the cherry tomato halves around the egg.
