1
Toast the Bread
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or on a grill.

2
Mash the Avocados
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess.

3
Poach the Eggs
In a pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer firmer eggs. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain.

4
Top the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Carefully place a poached egg on each slice.
5
Add the Finishing Touches
Sprinkle chili flakes over the top of the avocado toast to taste. Serve immediately.
