This quick and simple avocado on toast with poached eggs and tomatoes is so simple and can be made in under 30 minutes - the perfect lazy breakfast or brunch
Ingredients
- 220 g cherry tomatoes on the vine
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 avocados (ripe)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 6 drops hot pepper sauce (plus extra to serve)
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 eggs
- mixed salad (to serve)
Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the tomatoes in a small roasting tin and cook for 15 minutes, or until softened and just starting to split.
- Meanwhile, fill a large pan with water and bring to the boil; add the vinegar. Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl (discard the stone). Add half the lime juice, the pepper sauce and some salt. Using the back of a spoon, roughly smash the avocado, until chunky but spreadable.
- Preheat the grill to its highest setting or set a griddle pan on the hob over a medium-high heat. Brush the sourdough slices with the oil on both sides and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred.
- Poach the eggs in the pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny*. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Spread the sourdough toasts with the smashed avocado and divide between two plates, along with the roasted tomatoes and some salad. Top each with a poached egg and season with some freshly cracked black pepper. Serve with a drizzle of hot pepper sauce, if you like.
