Toast base

Avocado topping

Optional garnish & add-ins

Method

Prepare toast base

  1. 1

    Preheat and toast

    Heat a skillet over medium heat (or preheat toaster). Brush both sides of the bread lightly with olive oil (or spread butter on one side if using). Toast bread in the skillet 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, or use a toaster until golden. Remove and set on a plate.

Make avocado topping

  1. 2

    Halve the avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl.

  2. 3

    Add lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, flaky sea salt, and about half the black pepper to the bowl.

  3. 4

    Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — mostly mashed with some small chunks for bite (about 8–12 light mashes). Taste and adjust seasoning with remaining pepper or more salt/lemon if needed.

Assemble & garnish

  1. 5

    Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the two toasted bread slices and spread to the edges.

  2. 6

    If using, place halved cherry tomatoes and microgreens or arugula on top, sprinkle red pepper flakes and crumbled feta. Drizzle a tiny extra-virgin olive oil over each toast if desired.

  3. 7

    Top each toast with a soft-poached or fried egg if using. Season eggs lightly with salt and pepper.

  4. 8

    Serve immediately while toast is warm and crisp.
