Ensure the toast is firm enough to hold the avocado and egg without getting soggy.
2
While the bread is toasting, heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, crack the egg directly into the pan and fry until the egg whites are set and the yolk is still runny (or to your desired doneness).

For a perfect runny yolk, cook for about 2-3 minutes. A lid can help cook the top of the whites without flipping.
3
Prepare the avocado by halving it, removing the pit, and scooping out the flesh into a small bowl. Gently mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or mash it smoothly.
