- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preparation:
- Toast the Bread (3 minutes): Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread (5 minutes): In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
Cook the Eggs (5 minutes):
- For Fried Eggs: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- For Poached Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Gently crack each egg into a small bowl and slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon.
- Assemble the Toast (2 minutes): Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
- Top with Eggs (1 minute): Place a cooked egg on top of each avocado toast.
- Add Optional Toppings (2 minutes): Garnish with cherry tomatoes, microgreens, feta cheese, or everything bagel seasoning as desired.
Notes
- You can use scrambled or hard-boiled eggs instead of fried or poached eggs.
- For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze or hot sauce.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
