Ripe avocado is mashed with lemon juice and salt, then spread over crusty toasted bread for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of chili flakes add richness and a bit of heat, while a soft-boiled egg on top turns it into a heartier meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 lemon wedge, for serving (optional)

Method

  1. Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes.

  2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.

  3. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mash with a fork until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.

  4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.

  5. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge if desired.
