Cooking Lab - A Smashing Breakfast (酪梨牛油早餐吐司)

Picky P's favourite breakfast is the smashed avocado on toast and she is happily and willingly pay $9.99 at The Incinerator Cafe recently, I am more excited to re-create this at home. 

The avocado, feta and lemon on a crusty sourdough is such a delicious combination. It tastes great on its own but I prefer with prosciutto and a poached egg on top for good measure :)

我們超喜歡酪梨的,它的營養價值非常的高。這邊的早餐店都會把酪梨打碎得如泥跟吐司麵包吃。事實上,這真的很簡單做,再加上義大利火腿和波波水煮蛋,就是一道細膩鮮美的早餐。有人吃了兩份。。。

I added some Italian prosciutto and an oozing poached egg for that extra oomph. It is totally tasty and I'd go back for second helpings. 

Seriously, this is the perfect lazy cafe-style breakfast in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients:

- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 1 large avocado
- 1 lemon
- 50g Danish feta
- 10g Italian prosciutto
- 2 eggs
- 100g baby Kale salad

Methods:

1. Pre-heat the grill and lightly brush the sourdough bread with olive oil on both sides and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side.

2. At the same time crisp up the prosciutto slices under the grill.

3. Place chopped avocado and feta into a bowl. 

4.  Squeeze in half of lemon and gently mix together. 

5. Fill a saucepan with 1L of water. Bring it to boil and reduce to a simmer. Add 1/2 lime juice.

6. Poach the eggs for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

7. Remove with a spoon.


8.Liberally spread the sourdough toast with the smashed avocado mixture.

9. The smashed avocado toast tastes great as it is. It is perfect for vegetarians.


10.Place prosciutto slices on top to add extra flavour.


11.Gently place the poached egg on top.

12. Serve with baby kale salad.


Just a great savoury breakfast!

This is a really easy breakfast dish to make and absolutely perfect for a lazy weekend brunch. 

I highly recommend to make extra servings as it is great as a sandwich spread, salad topping or even as a healthy guacamole dip alternative!
