Instructions
Toast the keto seed bread until golden and crisp.
Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (about 190°F).
Crack the egg into a small bowl and set aside.
Create a gentle swirl in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center.
Poach the egg for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Scoop the avocado into a bowl and smash with a fork until mostly smooth.
Season the avocado with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice if using.
Spread the avocado smash evenly over the toasted keto bread.
Top with the poached egg and finish with optional red pepper flakes or seeds.
