In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, adding salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice to taste. 5. Spread the mashed avocado on the toasted bread. 6. Carefully remove the poached egg from the water and place it on top of the avocado toast. 7. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
