Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness to give a crunchy base for the avocado.
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash with a fork until it is mostly smooth but still has some texture.

- Serve Immediately: Serve the avocado toast right away while the bread is still warm and crisp for the best taste and texture.
Notes

- For extra protein, add a soft-boiled, poached, or fried egg on top.
