Ingredients (serves 1)
1 thick slice sourdough
1/2 ripe avocado
1 tsp lemon juice (or lime)
Pinch of salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 egg
Chilli flakes, to taste
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Method
- Toast the sourdough: Toast until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
- Mash the avocado: In a bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, pepper (leave it a little chunky for texture).
- Poach the egg: Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack egg into a small cup. Swirl the water, slide egg in, and poach 3–4 minutes until the white is set and yolk is still soft. Lift out and drain.
- Assemble: Spread avocado on toast. Top with the poached egg.
- Finish: Sprinkle with chilli flakes (and flaky salt if using), then spoon over Lemon Balsamic Pearls so they sit like glossy beads across the egg and avocado.
Chef's tip
Add the pearls right at the end. They are heat resistant and so are great to use with hot food as well as cold!
