👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Toast the Bread
Toast your wholegrain bread slices until golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster, oven, or pan. A nice crispy base is key for the perfect avocado toast!
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until slightly chunky. Add a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Cook the Eggs
For poached: Simmer water with a splash of vinegar, create a gentle whirlpool, drop in the egg, cook 3-4 mins. For boiled: Boil for 6-7 mins for jammy yolk, 10 mins for hard-boiled.
Assemble & Serve
Spread mashed avocado generously on toast. Top with your egg (slice if boiled). Sprinkle chili flakes, add a final squeeze of lime, and garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy immediately! 🎉

💡 Pro Tips for the Perfect Toast
Choose Ripe Avocados
Press gently - it should yield slightly. Too firm = not ready, too soft = overripe.
Fresh Eggs Work Best
Fresh eggs hold together better when poaching. Use eggs within 1-2 weeks of purchase.
Toast Until Crispy
A good crispy toast prevents sogginess from the avocado. Don't skip this step!
