Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is one of my favourite lunch option. Of course many people prefer them as breakfast, but I am not a breakfast person and so I like making my lunch fancy whenever possible. If you are lucky enough to find an unblemished and perfectly soft avocado, you should cherish it and make something beautiful with it. Even though I live in a place where women actually sell avocados by bundles, there had been plenty of those moments where the avocado turned out foul and botchy after cutting and my lunch plans went hayware!!!

So I cherish a good avocado and the avocado toasts are oh so delicious!!

Avocado Toast

Serves 1

Ingredients:

Two slices of bread of your choice ( I prefer sourdough or multigrain breads with avocados.)

1 small avocado

Juice from 1 lime

Salt & pepper

2 fat cloves of garlic - paste ( optional)

A few sprigs of coriander leaves - finely chopped

A few dashes of hot sauce

2 soft boiled eggs

1 tsp honey

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method:

To make the eggs, let the water in a saucepan come to a rolling boil.

As soon as the water starts boiling, add the eggs one by one with a slotted spoon to the water. Gently place them inside the saucepan to prevent forming any kind of cracks.

Boil them specifically for 7 minutes.

Immediately throw away the water and add as much cold water you can find to stop them from further cooking.

Gently peel the shells and keep the eggs aside.

Peel and chop the avocado.

Throw them into a bowl along with, lime juice, salt & pepper and garlic paste.

With the help of a masher and fork mash them really well. But do not overwork...a few chunks of avocado will only add to texture. Too much mashing can make the avocado turn brown.

Now add the chopped coriander leaves.

Spread the paste on top of a toasted bread slice.

Drizzle some olive oil on top.

Place the halved soft boiled eggs.

Drizzle hot sauce, salt and pepper and honey on top.

Sprinkle some more ciriander leaves if you like.

Enjoy!!
