Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Toast the whole wheat bread slices on medium heat until nicely golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl, add lemon juice, and mash gently until creamy but still slightly chunky.

  3. 3

    Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat; add a splash of vinegar if desired for egg cohesion.

  4. 4

    Crack each egg into a ramekin. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water, swirling gently; cook for 2-3 minutes for runny yolks.

  5. 5

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread. Top with freshly poached eggs, sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then serve immediately.

The avocado is the central ingredient, providing a creamy texture and fresh flavor that forms the base of this toast. The poached eggs add protein and richness, making this a satisfying and balanced meal.
