Optional Toppings:

• 4-6 radishes, thinly sliced
• ½ tsp chili flakes
• 1 or 2 poached eggs (optional)
• Fresh microgreens or herbs (optional for garnish)
• Sesame seeds or sunflower seeds (optional for crunch)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, leaving it slightly chunky if preferred.
3. Add olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 2: Toast the Bread

1. Toast the bread slices until crispy and golden brown, either in a toaster or on a grill.
2. If you like, lightly brush the warm bread with olive oil for added flavor and richness.

Step 3: Assemble the Avocado Toast

1. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
2. For added texture and freshness, top with thinly sliced radishes.
3. Sprinkle chili flakes for a little heat, and add any microgreens or fresh herbs for garnish.

Step 4: Add a Poached Egg (Optional)

1. Poach an egg by bringing a pot of water to a gentle simmer, adding a splash of vinegar, and cracking the egg into the water.
2. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny.
3. Place the poached egg on top of the avocado toast, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
