Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and brush sourdough bread with olive oil.
Once oven is heated, toast bread until crunchy, about 15 minutes.
While bread is still warm, rub 1 garlic clove on each toasted bread and let cool.
Once cool, add toasted bread to a food processor or smash in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, to create breadcrumbs. Set aside until ready to assemble.
Season each avocado half with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Divide the Egg Salad equally between each avocado half, filling them where the seed was.
Top the stuffed avocados by sprinkling with breadcrumbs, chopped pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, and finish with edible wildflowers.

Serving Suggestion: Before serving, add a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the recipe.

Beverage Pairing: To contrast the creamy texture, enjoy this recipe with a glass of freshly squeeze fruit juice.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
