Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

While the bread is toasting, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.

While the eggs are poaching, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, then stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the eggs are done, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain.

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.

Top each slice with a poached egg and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and additional salt and pepper if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious avocado toast!
