1 slice of rye toast topped with half a small avocado black pepper and lemon juice or with houmous or tahini
What to do:
Mix the dressing ingredients together.
Boil the eggs (we like the yolks to be a little soft and ever so slightly runny but you should cook them to your taste).

Top with the dressing and serve immediately.
Toast the rye bread and add the topping of your choice
