Step 1
Toast the bread until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 2
Halve each avocado, remove the pit, scoop flesh into a bowl, and mash roughly with a fork.
Step 3
Squeeze lemon juice over the avocado, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 5
Crack both eggs into the pan. Fry 3–4 minutes until whites are set but yolks still jiggle.
Step 6
Divide avocado between the toast slices and spread evenly to the edges.
Step 7
Top each piece with a fried egg. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes.
Step 8
Serve immediately while the egg is warm and the toast is still crisp.
