½ ripe avocado
½ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
Toast the Bread
Toast your slice of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Avocado Spread
Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork.
Stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Sauté the Cherry Tomatoes

Add halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they soften slightly. Remove from heat.
Fry the Egg
Heat butter or oil in the same pan over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny (or cook longer for a firmer yolk).
