Begin by preparing the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the avocado. Mash it with a fork until smooth.
Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil.
Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your desired doneness. For sunny-side-up, cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is runny. For over-easy, flip the eggs after 3 minutes and cook for an additional minute.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
Place one cooked egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat and add fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately for the best taste and experience.
