Method

Smashed Avocado and Poached Egg

One of the things that might put people off this recipe is the poached egg, but they are really not as hard as you might think. There are some great techniques to do them easily, such as this one.

This method simply uses cling film that is placed over a small dish with an egg cracked into it. You would then lift the clingfilm out of the dish, tie it and then place it into boiling water for 3-4 minutes.

Whilst the egg is poaching you want to spoon out an avocado and place this into a bowl. Now take either a fork or a potato masher and give the avocado a really good mash. Mush it down into your chosen consistency, however you do want some lumpy bits still.

To add a little flavour and to help keep the colour in the avocado, you want to add some juice from a lemon. I also like to grate in some of the zest from the lemon, along with a couple of pinches of pepper.

Spoon the avocado mixture onto one slice of bruschetta, you then want to spread this with a knife so that it is completely covered. By now the egg will either be done or close to being done, place it onto the avocado and sprinkle some more pepper over the egg.

I then like to serve this with some shaved parmesan and some vine tomatoes.
