Ingredients

- Olive Oil or Butter (1 tbsp) – For cooking the eggs.
- Salt & Black Pepper (to taste) – Enhances the flavors.
- Red Pepper Flakes (½ tsp, optional) – Adds a little kick.

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread
- In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork.
- Mix in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 2: Toast the Bread
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
Step 3: Fry the Eggs
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Crack in the eggs and cook for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. (For a firmer yolk, cook 1–2 minutes longer.)
- Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
- Spread the mashed avocado mixture onto the toasted bread.
- Top each slice with a fried egg.
- Garnish with cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and microgreens, if using.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve immediately with your favorite coffee or smoothie for a perfect meal.
Notes
- Use Ripe Avocados – They should be soft but not mushy.
- Pick a Good Bread – Sourdough or whole grain works best.
- Fry the Egg to Your Liking – Runny yolk for richness, fully cooked for a cleaner bite.
- Experiment with Toppings – Try smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or everything bagel seasoning!
