Ingredients:

2 slices of whole-grain bread or your choice
1 ripe avocado
2 fresh eggs
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil (optional)
Fresh cilantro or basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Toast the bread: Toast the slices of bread to your liking, either in a toaster or on a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
Prepare the avocado: Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Place the flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork until you have a smooth puree. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix well.
Poach the eggs: Fill a small pot with water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the water is just below boiling. Crack an egg into a small bowl and, carefully, slide it into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes so the yolk stays soft and runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and repeat with the second egg.
Assemble the toast: Spread a generous layer of avocado on each slice of toast. Place a poached egg on top of each one.
Garnish and serve: Add a bit more salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro or basil and a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
