If your bread is extremely fresh (like mine was) leave it untoasted. If it's not as fresh, toast it lightly.

Mash avocado well with a pinch of kosher salt. Fold in the minced onions. Add juice of 1/2 lime and 1 TBSP water and mix to make it creamy and spreadable, adding more water as needed. Taste your avocado "sauce" and adjust the seasoning to taste with more lime juice, salt or pepper. Spread on 2 of the bread slices. Top with soft poached eggs, tomatoes, jalapenos, basil and whatever else you like. Top with the remaining bread pieces to make sandwiches. Slice in half and serve immediately.
