I love experimenting with breakfast as I don’t eat it often when I’m on my days off or during the week. I don’t know, I tend to either skip breakfast and have a big lunch or go out for brunch. I need a few hours after I wake up before I really start to feel hungry.

When I last visited my bestie in Turkey 🇹🇷, her mum in law gave me her special homemade strawberry jam. I don’t eat jams that often, actually never but there’s something about her homemade jams that won me over.

Here’s what you need:

• Bread of your choice, toasted or not (up to you)
• Eggs, for poaching
• Fresh avocado 🥑 (cut in half, twist, open and remove the inside with a spoon 🥄)
• Plum tomatoes 🍅
• Fresh green chillies, chopped
• Salt and pepper, as per taste

Method:

There’s not really a method. Anyone can whip this one up. To make the smashed avocado, transfer the avocado in a bowl, add in the halved plum tomatoes, chopped green chillies, salt, pepper and a tablespoon or two of lemon juice. Smash/ mix it all up.

For the poached eggs, truth be told I use one of those fool proof concoctions where you crack the eggs into them and let them float in the boiling water until eggs are poached. Voila! Perfect poached eggs 🥚😆

Finally, it’s time to assemble your breakfast plate. Layer the smashed avo on top of the slices of bread and add the strawberry jam 🍓. I try to keep it rustic and that’s pretty much it folks! Enjoy this quick and easy plate of breakfast. ✌🏻
