Avocado Toast

Some breakfasts don't need to be complicated. This is the one I make when I have five minutes and I want to actually feel good after eating it. ## Ingredients - 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread - 1 ripe avocado - ½ lemon, juiced - Flaky sea salt and black pepper - Red chilli flakes (optional) - 2 eggs, poached or fried (optional but recommended) ## Method 1. Toast your bread until golden and sturdy enough to hold the toppings. 2. Halve the avocado, remove the stone, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. 3. Add the lemon juice, a good pinch of salt, and mash to your preferred texture — I like mine a little chunky. 4. Spread generously over the toast. 5. Top with black pepper, chilli flakes, and eggs if using. ## Notes Ripe avocado is everything here. If yours isn't ready, leave it on the counter next to a banana overnight — it speeds things up. A drizzle of olive oil and everything bagel seasoning also takes this somewhere special.
