Guacamole Poached Eggs

Guacamole Poached Eggs

Ingredients:

  • 1 Avocado pear, cut in half, stone removed and peeled
  • 1 Tomato, roughly chopped
  • ½ Red pepper, deseeded and chopped
  • Cucumber, chopped
  • 2.5ml (1/2tsp) Cayenne pepper
  • ½ Lime, juice and rind from one half
  • 2 eggs
  • Sour dough loaf and/ or walnut bread, sliced and toasted
  • Butter

Method:

  1. Place the avocado in a bowl and lightly crush with a fork. Add the tomato, red pepper, cucumber, cayenne, lime juice and rind and lightly mix together.
  2. Take a medium sized saucepan and half fill with water. Bring to the boil. Turn down to a low simmer. Take a wooden spoon and stir the water to create a moving swirl. Crack the eggs one at a time into the moving water.
  3. Time the egg for 3-4 minutes - This should be soft poached with a runny yolk - 5-6 for solid yolk - If your not ready to serve straight away transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of chilled water until your ready to serve (when ready just plunge into boiling water to heat & then serve)
  4. Toast the bread and butter. Pile high with the guacamole mixture and top with a drained poached egg.
  5. Sprinkle with a little extra cayenne & lime rind
