10 min2 servings

Ingredients

2 piece bread · thick-cut sourdough or whole wheat
1 piece ripe avocado · halved and pitted
1 tbsp lemon juice · freshly squeezed
1 clove garlic · peeled, for rubbing
flaky sea salt · to taste
black pepper · freshly cracked, to taste
red pepper flakes · to taste
2 piece eggs · optional, fried or poached
1 tsp olive oil · for frying eggs if using

Directions

1
Toast the bread
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until deep golden and crispy on both sides.
2
Rub with garlic
While the toast is still hot, rub the top surface firmly with the peeled garlic clove so the heat draws out the flavor.
3
Mash the avocado
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, a good pinch of flaky salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — chunky or smooth.
4
Fry the eggs (optional)
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry until the whites are just set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Assemble
Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast. Lay a fried egg on top if using. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, an extra pinch of flaky salt, and a crack of black pepper.
