Avocado Toast Delight

Preparation Cut the ripe avocados (2) in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and creamy. Squeeze the juice from the lemon (1) onto the mashed avocado and stir to combine. Set aside.

Toasting the Bread Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and crispy. Remove from the toaster and set aside.

Poaching the Eggs (4) Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs (4) into the simmering water and cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the poached eggs (4) with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.

Assembling the Avocado Toast Place the toasted bread slices on a serving platter. Spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado onto each slice. Sprinkle with chili flakes (1 teaspoon) and drizzle with a little olive oil (1 tablespoon). Top each toast with a poached egg, cherry tomatoes (4), crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, red onion slices, and a fresh basil leaf.
