Ingredients:

-2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

-1 ripe avocado 

-1 tbsp olive oil

-2 large eggs

-Salt and pepper to taste

-Red pepper flakes

-Fresh herbs (parsely, cilantro, etc)

-Lemon wedge

 

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:

Toast the slices of bread until golden and crispy. If you prefer, drizzle the bread with olive oil before toasting for extra flavor.

2. Prepare the Avocado:

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste. For extra freshness, squeeze in a little lemon juice.

3. Cook the Over-Easy Eggs:

In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set. Then, carefully flip the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how runny you like the yolk.

4. Assemble the Toast:

Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.

5. Top with Eggs:

Place the over-easy eggs on top of the avocado toast. Season with additional salt and pepper, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if desired. 

6. Serve:

Garnish with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, or any extra toppings you love (like cherry tomatoes or feta cheese). Serve immediately and enjoy!
