Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados
4 slices of whole-grain bread
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread until they are golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, scoop out the flesh of the avocados into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mash the avocados until you reach your desired consistency. You can keep it chunky or make it smooth.

Poach the Eggs: Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.

Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices. Place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a bit more red pepper flakes on top, along with some freshly chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
