1
Prepare the Avocado Mixture
In a bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado and mash it with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined and set aside.
2
Toast the Bread
Brush both sides of the sourdough bread slices with olive oil. Toast them in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy.

3
Poach the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

4
Assemble the Toast
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices. Top each slice with a poached egg. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh parsley.
