Avocado smash

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 T vinegar
4 free-range eggs
8 rye bread slices, toasted
250 g cream cheese
2 avocados, mashed
2 tomatoes, sliced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Microgreens, to garnish
Baby vegetables, to garnish
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Method

Bring a medium-sized saucepan of water to just under boiling point. Add the vinegar and crack 1 egg into a small cup. Place the cup near the surface of the water and gently drop in the egg, swirling the water gently to help the egg white hold together. Poach for 2–3 minutes for softpoached. Remove using a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining eggs.

Layer the toast with cream cheese, mashed avocado, tomato and a poached egg. Season to taste.

Garnish with microgreens and baby vegetables and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
