Step 1
Start by toasting your bread on the highest setting until it gets a nice, deep golden brown all over. While the bread is toasting, heat a small pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with oil. Crack in the egg, then sprinkle a little sea salt, black pepper, and some red pepper flakes on top. Cover the pan and cook the egg until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny—this usually takes about three minutes.

Step 2
Once your toast is ready, scoop the avocado onto it and spread it out evenly. Give it a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch more red pepper flakes. Carefully place the fried egg on top, pierce the yolk, and let it spread over the avocado. Add a little extra lemon juice if you like, then slice your toast in half and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of lemon juice for extra flavor. Pair it with a side salad or fresh fruit to make a balanced meal. It also goes well with a cup of coffee or fresh juice.
Storage & leftovers
Avocados are best used fresh, but you can store any leftover mashed avocado in an airtight container with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Cooked eggs should be eaten immediately for the best taste and texture. Bread is best toasted fresh but can be stored in an airtight bag for a few days.
