Ingredients

• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 1 medium ripe avocado
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 4 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or a toaster oven.

Step 2

While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Step 3

Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mash together until creamy but slightly chunky.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Spread the mashed avocado generously over each piece of toast.

Step 7

Top each piece with cherry tomatoes, followed by one sunny-side-up egg.

Step 8

Sprinkle each toast with feta cheese, a few fresh basil leaves, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper and basil leaves if desired.
