1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached.
2
Prepare the Egg
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.

3
Toast the Sourdough Bread
While the egg is poaching, toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden brown and crispy.

4
Assemble the Avocado Toast
Spread the smashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted sourdough. Top with the poached egg, sprinkle with chili flakes, and add fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
