Start by slicing the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
In a small bowl, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix these ingredients well and set aside.
Toast the slices of whole-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness.
While the bread is toasting, heat the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the skillet and cook it to your preference (sunny-side-up is recommended for this recipe). Season the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the smashed avocado evenly onto each slice.
Top the avocado with the halved cherry tomatoes.
Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado and tomato mixture.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the egg.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
