Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast bread until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 0.5 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Crack egg into the skillet and fry until whites set but yolk still jiggles, ~3–4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    While egg cooks, halve avocado and scoop flesh into a bowl; mash lightly with a fork.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp oil on toast. Spread mashed avocado evenly on both slices.

  6. Step 6

    Slide fried egg onto one slice; sprinkle salt and red pepper flakes over both.

  7. Step 7

    Press slices together or serve open-faced. Eat immediately.
