Start by toasting the slices of bread until golden brown. While the bread is toasting, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the eggs to your preference. Once the eggs are cooked, set them aside.
Mash the ripe avocado with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Top with the cooked eggs and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a little kick, if desired. Serve immediately.
