INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 2 extra thick slices of fresh sourdough bread 1 avocado 1 garlic clove, peeled

METHOD

1 Preheat your pan. Drizzle 1 tbsp. of olive oil over each slice of bread and grill them in a grill pan until they’re golden brown, ±7 minutes. Rotate the slices halfway through to create cross-hatched grill marks. 2 While the bread is grilling, cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit and skin and chop into 1cm chunks. Sea salt and pepper To garnish (optional): chilli flakes and cress

3 When the bread is ready, half the garlic clove and rub it over the hot toast. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toast and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. If using, add chilli flakes and cress to taste.

THE FOODDECO FANCY

A semi-soft egg served on whole wheat bread with feta, avocado and a ginger and lemon-infused oil.

INGREDIENTS

1 avocado 100g feta cheese, crumbled 2 free-range eggs 2 thick slices of nice brown bread Sea salt and pepper Topping (optional): cress To garnish (optional): chili flakes

METHOD

1 Combine all the ingredients for the ginger and lemon oil in a small bowl and set aside. 2 Put a small saucepan of water to boil on medium heat. Whilst this comes to the boil, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and skin and mash them up in a small bowl with ¾ of the feta cheese. 3 Once the water is boiling, add the eggs to the saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes for a runny yolk or 8 minutes if you want the yolk to be set. In the meanwhile, toast the bread. For the ginger and lemon oil: 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 tbsp. grated ginger 1 tbsp. lemon zest 1 tbsp. lemon juice

4 Once the eggs are done, remove and cool under the tap. Peel and cut in half. 5 Spread the avocado and feta mixture onto the warm toast and top with the boiled egg halves. 6 Sieve the oil mixture to remove the lemon and ginger, then drizzle the infusion over the bread to taste. Top with the rest of the feta, and garnish with the chili flakes and cress if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with extra oil on the side.
