1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2
Mash the Avocado
Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
3
Add Flavorings
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into the mashed avocado. Mix well and set aside.

4
Toast the Bread
Place the sourdough bread slices in a toaster and toast them until they are golden brown and crispy.
5
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. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks.
6
Remove the Eggs
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and let them drain on a paper towel.

7
Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
8
Top with Eggs
Place a poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
9
Add Finishing Touches
Sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped fresh chives over the topped toast for added flavor.
