Ingredients

• 2 slices thick sourdough or whole-grain bread

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1/2 small garlic clove, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 2 large eggs (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta or radish slices
• to taste Microgreens or fresh cilantro, for garnish
• to taste Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

1. Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or dry skillet until deeply golden and crisp on the edges.
2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
3. Add the lime juice, grated garlic, and fine sea salt, then mash with a fork, leaving some texture rather than a smooth puree.
4. If topping with egg, fry or poach the eggs to your preference while the toast is still warm.
5. Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast, all the way to the edges.
6. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter red pepper flakes over the top.
7. Top with the egg, feta, or radish slices, then finish with microgreens and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
8. Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
