Loaded Avocado Toast

Ingredients

• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 1 large ripe avocado
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Everything-bagel seasoning
• Red pepper flakes (optional)
• Microgreens or fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp.
2. Prepare the avocado. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — chunky or smooth.
3. Fry the eggs. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
4. Assemble. Spread the smashed avocado generously on each toast. Top with a fried egg.
5. Season with everything-bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of flaky salt. Add microgreens if desired.
