Once done, remove them and peel off the dark roasted skin with your fingers 2, then rinse the residues with water in the sink 3.
Remove the upper part of the pepper, then cut it in half and split each half into three parts 4. Set aside 5 and take care of the bread, brush it with oil, and heat a non-stick pan 6.
Toast the slices of bread on both sides 7, it will take just a few minutes 8, then keep it warm. Let the stracciatella drain in a strainer. Now take the avocado and cut it in half lengthwise 9.
Remove the pit 10 and peel off the skin 11. Slice it thinly 12 and set it aside in a bowl, pouring the lemon juice over it.
