Ingredients
  

2 slices of high-quality whole grain or sourdough bread

1 ripe avocado

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spicy Pumpkin Seeds: In a small skillet over medium heat, combine pumpkin seeds and olive oil. Add red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the seeds are golden and start to pop. Set aside.

    Toast the Bread: While the seeds are cooling, toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a grill pan for an extra smoky flavor.

      Mash the Avocado: In a bowl, scoop out the ripe avocado and mash it with a fork. Mix in a pinch of salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to enhance the flavor.

        Poach the Eggs: In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer and add apple cider vinegar. Crack one egg into a small cup, gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. Repeat with the second egg.

          Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.

            Top with Poached Egg: Carefully place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the spicy pumpkin seeds over the eggs, along with extra black pepper and fresh herbs. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm.
