Toast the two slices of whole grain bread in a toaster until they are golden brown.
While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of half an avocado into a small bowl, and mash it with a fork.
Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the mashed avocado and mix until combined.
In a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil.
Add a handful of baby spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Push the spinach to one side and crack the large egg into the other side of the pan. Cook to your preference (sunny-side up or over easy), about 3 minutes.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of crumbled low-fat feta cheese over the avocado mixture.
Top the cheesy avocado toast with the sautéed spinach and the cooked egg.
Season with 0.25 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of red chili flakes to taste.
Serve immediately for a warm and flavorful heart-healthy breakfast.
