Begin by toasting two slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.

While the bread is toasting, cut a ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and mash it with a fork, adding salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

In a saucepan, bring a few inches of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, then crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice.

Carefully place the poached eggs atop the avocado toast.

Season with salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and chopped herbs.

Consider adding optional toppings such as crumbled feta, tomato slices, or balsamic glaze.
