Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 avocado
  • 50 g fetta
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 cherry tomato quartered
  • 50 g smoked salmon thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1 pinch salt *to taste
  • 1 pinch pepper *to taste
  • 2 slices bread
  • 3 cups water

Method

  • Step 1
    Fill a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water and add in the vinegar. Bring to the boil.
  • Step 2
    Slice the avocado in half, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh into the bowl, gently crush with a fork. Add in the tomatoes, chives, lemon juice and then crumble in the feta, season with salt and pepper. Gently mix through.
  • Step 3
    Once the water has come to a boil, using a spoon stir the water in a circular motion to create a whirlpool and break the eggs straight into the water. If you are not confident to break them straight in the water you can break the eggs into a small bowl or large spoon first and then lower them gently into the water. Set a timer for 3 minutes and reduce the heat to a nice gentle simmer.
  • Step 4
    While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread and then place it onto your serving plate, lay over a few slices of smoked salmon per each piece of bread, then top with the avocado mix.
  • Step 5
    Once the eggs have cooked remove them using a slotted spoon and place onto paper towel, season with salt and pepper and then gently transfer the eggs on top of the advocado. Serve immediately.

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • metal slotted spoon
  • paper towel
