Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mash the avocado with a fork until a chunky but spreadable consistency is achieved. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes for sunny side up or until yolks reach your desired level of doneness.
While eggs are cooking, toast the low-carb bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Place a cooked egg on top of each avocado toast. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
