1
Slice and Mash the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency.
2
Season the Avocado
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.

3
Poach the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4
Toast the Bread
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
5
Spread the Avocado
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
6
Top with Poached Eggs
Place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
7
Add Optional Toppings
Sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped fresh herbs on top of the toast for added flavor, if desired.
