Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toast 4 large slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes in a toaster or under a broiler.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mash 2 medium ripe avocados with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth but slightly chunky.
  3. Step 3: Spread the avocado mash evenly over each toasted bread slice.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the avocado toast on plates. Place the cooked eggs on two of the slices.
  6. Step 6: Using fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries, decorate the remaining two avocado toasts to resemble the American flag: place blueberries on the top left corner to represent stars and alternate rows of sliced strawberries and additional avocado to create stripes.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately while eggs are warm for a festive and nutritious patriotic breakfast.
