Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add zucchini slices to the skillet. Cook without moving until golden on one side, 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until light brown.

  3. Step 3

    Push zucchini to the side. Crack both eggs into the empty space. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    While the eggs cook, toast the bread until golden and crunchy, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Halve the avocado and scoop into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy, then stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

  6. Step 6

    Spread avocado generously on each slice of toast. Top with an egg and a handful of zucchini. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if using and serve immediately.
