• 2 large eggs

• Olive oil, for sautéing
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, for an optional kick
• Lemon juice, for a zesty finish
• Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocado:
   • Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
   • Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
2. Sauté the Kale:
   • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the washed kale leaves and sauté for a few minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Set aside.
3. Poach the Eggs:
   • Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to help the egg whites coagulate.
   • Crack one egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon.
   • Carefully slide the egg into the whirlpool. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached egg from the water. Repeat with the second egg.
4. Toast the Bread:

5. Assemble the Avocado Toast:
