Why this recipe works
Crisp toast prevents sogginess
A sturdy, well-toasted slice gives the avocado and egg a better texture.
Lemon wakes up the avocado
A small amount of acid keeps the avocado from tasting heavy or dull.
The egg makes it filling
Adding an egg gives the toast more protein and makes it work as a quick meal.
