Serves 1
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 slice of sourdough bread (or bread of your choice)
1/2 avocado, sliced
50g peas
1 tsp butter
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Pinch chilli flakes (optional)
A squeeze of lemon juice
30g pea shoots, rocket or watercress
Sea salt and pepper
1 tbsp white wine vinegar (optional)
Method:
Place the peas in a pan of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and crush with a fork, adding some butter, salt and pepper.
To make the perfect softly poached egg - break the egg into a small bowl and have a slotted spoon at the ready. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add 1 tbsp white wine vinegar.
When you are ready, using a fork, swirl the water to make a whirlpool then drop the eggs into the water. Turn down the heat so that the water is gently simmering (otherwise the eggs will break up!). Poach for exactly 2 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon and drain on some kitchen paper to remove any excess water.
Toast the bread, top with the crushed peas, avocado, leaves and a squeeze of lemon.
Top with the poached eggs and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and chilli flakes.
For a weekend treat add some crispy bacon.
