- Chilli flakes to taste
- Salt and black pepper

👩🍳 Instructions
Toast sourdough slices until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
Halve the avocado, remove stone, scoop into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mash to your preferred texture.

Spread avocado generously on toast. Top with drained poached egg, chilli flakes and a crack of black pepper.
💡 Pro Tips
The freshest eggs make the best poached eggs — the whites hold together more neatly. For a runnier yolk, reduce poaching time to 2.5 minutes. Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning instead of chilli flakes for a fun twist!
