2. 2
   Add the garlic and fry about 2 minutes, until lightly golden.

   ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
3. 3
   Gently crack the eggs into the pan, next to the garlic.

   Stove

   💡Crack the egg into hot but not smoking fat: in fat that's too hot, the white burns at the edges before it sets near the yolk.
4. 4
   Season with salt and black pepper, cover and fry 3–4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still soft.

To assemble

1. 5
   Place on the bread an egg on each slice.

   💡Add the egg just before serving: toast that sits under a hot egg goes soft, and the avocado spread turns brown.
2. 6
   Sprinkle the parsley and green onion over it, squeeze the lemon over it and serve immediately.
