Egg and Avocado Toast

1.Start by toasting the 2 slices of whole grain bread until golden and crisp. You can use a toaster or a grill pan on medium heat.

2.While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

3.Add the fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the avocado. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4.Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter.

5.Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, cooking about 2-3 minutes for runny yolks or longer if desired. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.

6.Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.

7.Place one fried egg on top of each avocado-covered toast.

8.Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the top for added flavor and color.

9.Serve immediately for a quick, nutritious breakfast combining creamy avocado and protein-rich eggs.
