Boil the Eggs:

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. For soft-boiled eggs, simmer for 6-7 minutes. After the eggs have cooked to your desired doneness, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
2. Peel the Eggs: Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel off the shells and set the eggs aside.

Prepare the Avocado:

3. Cut the Avocado: While the eggs are cooling, slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl.
4. Mash the Avocado: Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can mash it more thoroughly. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice, if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.

Toast the Bread:

5. Toast the Bread: While you’re preparing the eggs and avocado, toast the slices of bread to your liking. A slightly crispy, golden toast works best to balance the creamy avocado and the soft-boiled egg.

Assemble the Toast:

6. Spread the Avocado: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of mashed avocado on each slice of toast.
7. Slice the Eggs: Slice the boiled eggs into halves or quarters, depending on your preference, and place them on top of the avocado-covered toast.
8. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on top of the eggs, and drizzle a little olive oil over the toast for extra flavor (optional).
9. Add Extra Toppings: If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes or chili flakes for a bit of heat, and top with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives for added freshness.

Serve:

10. Serve Immediately: Serve the Boiled Egg on Avocado Toast right away while the toast is still warm and crispy, and enjoy!
