What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large eggs optional for topping
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Toast sourdough slices in a toaster or under the broiler until deeply golden and crispy. The bread should be sturdy enough to hold the avocado without becoming soggy.
Step 2: Smash the Avocado
Halve and pit the avocados then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt then smash with a fork to your desired consistency leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 3: Fry the Eggs
If using eggs heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
Spread the smashed avocado generously over each slice of toasted bread. Drizzle with olive oil and top with a fried egg if desired.
Step 5: Season and Serve
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning red pepper flakes and flaky sea salt over the top. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.

Common mistakes to avoid

- Skipping the acid from lemon juice causes the avocado to brown quickly
