Ingredients:

• 2 slices of whole grain bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, to taste
• Fresh herbs (such as chives or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
2. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

5. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs and place one on each slice of avocado toast.
6. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
