🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 slices thick bread (sourdough or whole grain works best)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

• Salt to taste

• Freshly ground black pepper

• ½ teaspoon lemon juice

• Red chili flakes (optional)

• Fresh herbs (parsley or chives, optional)

🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread

1. Cut avocado in half and remove pit.

2. Scoop into a bowl.

3. Add:

   • Salt (¼ tsp)

   • Black pepper

   • Lemon juice

4. Mash with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.

👉 Taste and adjust seasoning.

Optional: Add a pinch of garlic powder or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.

🍞 Step 2: Toast the Bread

1. Toast bread until golden brown and crisp.

2. Let cool slightly (so avocado doesn’t become watery).

For extra flavor:

• Brush bread lightly with olive oil before toasting.

🍳 Step 3: Cook Perfect Sunny-Side Eggs

1. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.

2. Add butter or olive oil.

3. Crack eggs gently into the pan.

4. Cook slowly for 2–3 minutes.

To keep yolk soft and glossy:

• Do NOT flip.

• Cover pan with lid for 30–60 seconds to set the top whites gently.

Egg is ready when:

• Whites are fully set

• Yolk remains soft and slightly jiggly

🥑 Step 4: Assemble

1. Spread mashed avocado evenly on toast.

2. Carefully place one egg on each slice.

3. Sprinkle with:

   • Salt

   • Black pepper

   • Chili flakes (optional)
