Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them into thin rounds. Set them aside while you prepare the avocado and toast.

Scoop half of a ripe avocado into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. Season with a pinch of salt.

Save the remaining avocado half for another toast, a salad, or a quick snack.

Place your bread in the toaster and toast it until golden and crisp to your liking. A sturdy slice of whole-grain or multigrain bread works especially well because it holds the toppings without becoming soggy.

Heat a small nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add the oil or butter. Crack in the egg and cook until the white is set and the edges are lightly crisp while the yolk remains runny.

If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, simply cook the egg for another minute or two.

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes on top, then carefully place the fried egg over everything.

Finish with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.

Serve the toast immediately while the bread is crisp and the egg is warm. For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes, a squeeze of lemon juice, or your favorite seasoning.
