1. Toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown and crisp.
2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and mash with a fork until smooth but still chunky.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes for sunny side up or until the yolks reach your desired doneness.
5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toast.
6. Top each slice with the cooked egg, and season with the remaining salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and serve immediately.
