1
Toast the Sourdough
Place the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or on a grill and toast until golden brown and crispy.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
3
Mash the Avocado
Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of creaminess.

4
Poach the Egg
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool and carefully slide the egg into the center. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon.

5
Spread the Avocado
Once the sourdough is toasted, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado on each slice.
6
Top with Poached Egg
Place the poached egg on top of the avocado spread on each slice of toast.
7
Add Optional Toppings
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped fresh herbs if desired.
