These guys go great with almost everything. I say "almost" because I haven't tried everything so there may be something out there, but I haven't found it yet. 

Super easy: 1 slice of toast, mash 1/2 avacado onto toast and spread evenly-ish, put 1 egg cooked however you like it on top, Sriracha as desired.

I like to add a sardine or two, but that may just be me.

You. Are. Welcome.
