Awaze Avocado Toast With Soft Boiled Eggs Recipes

AVOCADO TOAST WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Halve, pit and scoop the avocado out into a shallow bowl. Mash with a fork until chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast the bread. Lightly rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove and then brush each slice with some oil.
• Divide and spread the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts. Lay a piece of smoked salmon over the avocado. Top with a pinch of flaky sea salt, a few grinds of pepper and some dill. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

AVOCADO TOAST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a pizza oven or oven to 450 degrees F and place a pizza stone on the middle shelf.
• Combine the goat cheese, mascarpone, ricotta, basil, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll out on a lightly-floured surface. Place 1 piece of dough on a pizza peel and drizzle the dough with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Smear half the cheese on evenly. Freshly grate about 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Bake until the crust is crispy, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Fan out the avocado on top of the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and crushed red pepper, to taste.
• Slice and serve.

SOFT-BOILED EGGS WITH ASPARAGUS SOLDIERS

Steps:

• Cut the woody ends off the asparagus, and cook in a shallow saucepan of boiling water until tender but still has some bite - about 5 minutes. Then drain them and keep them warm while you cook the eggs.
• In a saucepan, bring some water to the boil into which you have dropped a matchstick; according to my Aunt Frieda this stops the white from billowing out into the pan should the egg crack while cooking. Am I going to promise this works? Well, all families have their folklore.
• Lower the eggs into the water and cook them at a steady boil for about 4 minutes. Take them out of the water and immediately slice the top of each one; the yolk should still be runny enough to dip the asparagus spears in.
• Make sure that there's salt on the table for sprinkling into the almost aggressive blandness of the egg and spear, as you eat, with the warm asparagus.

HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Add eggs straight from fridge, in a single layer, to a saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch at least. Slowly bring water to just under a boil. Once water is at just under a boil, begin to time them. Count 8 minutes for a hard boiled eggs where yolks are firm but center is still tender or 10 minutes for a fully firm inside yolk. For larger eggs, add a minute, for smaller eggs subtract a minute.
• When done, remove with a slotted spoon and plunge in cold water to stop cooking process. Cool them so they are easy to handle; it is best to peel eggs just before using them. Whole boiled eggs can be kept in fridge for a week.

PERFECTLY BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Allow the eggs to sit for 11 minutes. Drain and cool the eggs for 2 minutes in ice water. Drain and peel the eggs.
