1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the avocado with a fork until it's smooth but still slightly chunky. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Tomatoes
Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and slice them in half. Set them aside for topping your toast.

3
Toast the Sourdough
Toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy.
4
Poach the Egg
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if desired. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

5
Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Top with halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and add the poached egg. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
