Storage
You can make the egg and green pepper "shamrocks" two days in advance. Reheat them in a frying pan on the stovetop.
I do not recommend making the avocado toast part in advance as the avocado will brown.

Cooking Tips - If you want a runny egg yolk, cook the egg just till the whites are set. If you want it fully cooked through, you may need to sauté the egg for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
Specialty Ingredients - I really like using Trader Joe's teeny tiny avocados for this recipe. Each avocado is the perfect size for a single piece of toast.
