1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the avocado with a fork until desired consistency is reached (smooth or chunky).

2
Poach the Eggs
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.

3
Toast the Sourdough
While the eggs are poaching, toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown and crispy.

4
Build the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado generously on each slice of toasted sourdough. Top each with a poached egg. Sprinkle with chili flakes and additional salt and pepper to taste.
