Ingredients
- 1 avocado, halved
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- 100 g baby spinach leaves
- 2 eggs
- 2 thick slices wholemeal sourdough, toasted, to serve
- 1 tomato, roughly chopped
- 1 banana, thickly sliced
- 1 seedless mandarin, separated into segments
Instructions
- Remove the pit from the avocado, then use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Use a potato masher or a fork to crush the avocado, allowing for a pasty, but chunky texture. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and squeeze in fresh lemon juice to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When hot, add the baby spinach leaves with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until just wilted. Remove from the pan.
- Wipe out the frying pan with a paper towel, then return to medium heat. While the pan is heating, crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add a generous pinch of salt and pepper and whisk well with a fork or whisk to scramble. Add another drizzle of olive oil to the pan, then pour in the eggs and stir with a heat-proof spatula, until just set. Remove from the heat.
- To serve, divide toasted bread between plates and evenly spread over the smashed avocado. Top with the wilted spinach, tomato and the eggs. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if you like, and serve with the prepared fruits.
