Avocado with soft boiled egg
  • Serves: 4
  • Preparation: 20 minutes
  • Cooks In: 7 minutes
  •       

Ingredients

3 small ripe Hass avocados
2 eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow capsicum, finely diced
½ small Spanish onion, finely diced
1 tbsp finely diced pickled jalapeños
1 tbsp finely chopped coriander
Finely grated rind of 1 lime, juice of 2
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Baby red vein sorrel or other micro-herbs, optional, to serve

Method

1

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, add eggs and cook for 6½ minutes for semi-soft yolks. Drain, rinse under cold running water, peel and halve.

2

While the eggs are cooking, prepare the salsa. Halve an avocado, remove the seed and use a large spoon to scoop the flesh from the skin, then finely dice. Combine in a bowl with oil, capsicum, onion, jalapenos, coriander, lime rind, lime juice and garlic, season to taste and mix to combine.

3

Halve remaining avocado, remove the seed and run a large spoon around between the flesh and the skin to release. Use a paring knife, thinly slice crossways then gently fan within the skin. Top each avocado half with half a boiled egg, spoon over salsa to taste and serve scattered with microherbs.
