Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- Whole-grain bread adds fiber and a nutty flavor but can be swapped with other bread types.
- For a vegan option, omit feta cheese and eggs or replace feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- The toast is best served immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
