1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached.
2
Toast the Bread
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or under a broiler 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 carefully slide them into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
4
Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted bread. Top each with a poached egg, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
