Place avocado, lemon juice, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 cup water into the pitcher of your blender. Puree until smooth, drizzling in additional water as need to create a smooth, pourable consistency. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. And serve. It’s that simple! If you want a warmer avocado hollandaise, you can place it in a small pan over low heat, stirring frequently, until warm - about 5 minutes. Add a little more water if needed. Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat by repeating step 4 (you’ll likely need to add a bit of water).

Set a medium pot of water over high heat. While the water heats, make the avocado hollandaise sauce. Set aside. Toast the bread. Set on individual plates. Half the avocado, remove the pit and peel, and cut each half into thin slices. Lay on the toast, and mash with a fork. Top with tomato slices. Sprinkle with a little pinch of salt and pepper. Poach the egg. By now, your water should be boiling. Reduce the heat to low, until your water is barely moving, with only a few small bubbles rising to the surface. Crack eggs into the water, hovering right over the surface so that the eggs don’t have very far to drop. Cook for 3 minutes for a very runny yolk or 3 1/2 minutes for thicker (yet still runny) yolk. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and place atop tomato. Spoon avocado hollandaise over the top. Sprinkle with parsley and/or chives if using along with a pinch of salt, and a generous pinch of pepper. Serve immediately.

For the hollandaise sauce: Place the yolks, lemon juice and water into a blender and blend for 1 minute. With the blender running, pour the butter through open hole of the blender lid. Season with salt and pour into the top of a double boiler set over hot water to keep warm. For the toast: Toast the bread until golden, then spread with 1 tablespoon butter. Divide the bread among 4 plates, butter-side up, and spread some of the radishes evenly over them (reserve some radishes for topping). Lay an avocado half on a cutting board cut-side down and slice thinly, crosswise (thinner slices are easier to roll). Put the flat side of your knife along the side of the avocado. Press the knife against the slices and they will fan out, overlapping each other. Starting from the thin end, curl the avocado slices into a cylinder toward the center. Continue curling the avocado slices until you get a 3- to 4-inch circle that looks like a rose. Repeat with the remaining avocado halves; set aside. Heat the remaining tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites have set and the yolks are still runny. Put 1 egg on each toast, top with the avocado flowers, using a spatula to transfer each to a toast, and garnish with the sliced radishes and sprigs of dill or cilantro. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve with the hollandaise sauce on the side.
