Creamy avocado toast topped with a perfectly fried egg is a quick, healthy breakfast packed with protein and healthy fats. This fresh, clean eats staple is a family-friendly California classic perfect for busy mornings.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash gently with a fork until mostly smooth, then squeeze in the juice from the quartered lemon and mix well.
Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes in a toaster or under a broiler.
While the bread toasts, heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, crack in the eggs.
Fry the eggs for 2–3 minutes, spooning oil over the whites and controlling the heat to avoid browning; for runny yolks, cover briefly and remove from heat when whites are set.
Spread the seasoned avocado mash evenly over each toast slice, sprinkle with half the salt and black pepper, then top each with a fried egg.
Finish with the remaining salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
