1
Mash the Avocados
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados until you achieve a creamy consistency.
2
Add Seasonings
Mix in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

3
Toast the Sourdough
Place the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or under a broiler and toast until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

4
Prepare Poaching Liquid
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water.
5
Poach the Eggs
Crack each egg into a small bowl. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water one at a time. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
6
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and let them drain on a paper towel.

7
Spread Avocado Mixture
Take the toasted sourdough slices and generously spread the avocado mixture on top of each slice.
8
Add Poached Eggs
Place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
9
Garnish and Serve
Optionally, sprinkle additional red pepper flakes, salt, or black pepper over the top. Serve immediately.
