Steps
1. Toast the slice of whole-grain bread until golden brown.
2. While the bread is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter.
3. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny, about 2-3 minutes.
4. In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
5. Spread the mashed avocado generously on the toasted bread.
6. Carefully place the sunny-side-up egg on top of the avocado toast.
7. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs, if using, for an extra kick of flavor.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious creation!
