Ribboned Avocado Toast with a Poached Egg

Hello! Welcome to The Kitchen Kween! My name is Jeremiah, and I'm just a normal 26-year old guy in California living and working, trying to get the very most out of my life. I'm a Gemini (so I'm just a *little* insane) and although they're usually known for being a more extroverted sign, I am …
