Instructions
1. Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar.

4. While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
5. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mash with a fork until creamy with some small chunks remaining.
6. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
7. Place one poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
8. Sprinkle red pepper flakes, pumpkin seeds, and chopped fresh chives over the top.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein avocado toast!
