1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth or leave it chunky, according to your preference. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

2
Poach the Eggs
Fill a saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the water, and then carefully slide the eggs into the center of the whirlpool. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

3
Toast the Bread
While the eggs are poaching, toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden and crispy.
4
Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly on each slice of toasted sourdough. Top each slice with a poached egg. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for extra flavor, if desired.
