RECIPE | AVOCADO EGG TOAST

I'm sure many of you have seen or heard about this dish many times on social media but there's a good reason for it. Avocado Egg Toast tastes heavenly especially when you kick it up a notch by adding garlic salt and fresh chives. A simple and delicious meal that fills you to the brim. I honestly can't have more than one piece because it's that filling. The ingredients are few and fit for a vegetarian.

SERVES 4 | PREP TIME 10 MINS | COOK TIME 30 MINS

• 2 ripe Avocados with pit and skin removed
• 2 tablespoons of fresh Chives finely chopped
• 4 eggs (opt for organic or free range eggs)
• 1/4 teaspoon of Garlic Salt
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper
• 4 slices of an Italian Bread Loaf

1. Finely chop your chives
2. Diagonally cut your bread loaf into 3/4 inch thick slices
3. Brush all sides of the bread with olive oil. Set aside
4. Cut and de-pit your avocados and scoop out insides. Mash the avocado with a fork
5. Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt into the avocado mash
6. In a large wide pan, set heat to medium and begin toasting your bread slices on each side until golden brown. With your avocado mash, spread about 2-3 tablespoons on each bread slice
7. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil. In a small separate bowl, crack one egg into it. Lower heat to low-medium until bubbles are just simmering and gently slide the egg out of the bowl into the hot water. Poach each egg for about 5-6 minutes or more if you prefer cooked eggs
8. With a slotted spoon, gently scoop the egg out and lay it on your avocado mash Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle fresh chives on top
