Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl, mash it with a fork, and mix in salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.
2. Cook the Eggs:
   • Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
   • Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set, leaving the yolks runny for added richness (about 3–4 minutes). For a firmer yolk, cook a little longer.

   • Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
   • Place one cooked egg on top of each slice.
4. Add Toppings:
   • Sprinkle pomegranate seeds evenly over the toast.
   • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
