Start by toasting the bread. You can use a toaster or grill the slices on a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the avocado. Mash with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency (smooth or chunky, depending on your preference).
Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Crack an egg into the skillet, and fry until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, cover the skillet with a lid to steam the top of the egg slightly. Repeat for the second egg using the remaining olive oil.
Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread slices.
Place a fried egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory avocado toast with a fried egg!
