Perfect Mothers Day Breakfast - Egg smoked salmon and avocado toastie



Are you looking for something a little different to make for breakfast this Mothering Sunday? Well look no further this recipe will do the trick.

As normal when I pick up my monthly copy of Good Food I spend a great time reading it from cover to  cover deciding what I want to try making in the next few weeks. This breakfast idea was suggested as a special Mothers Day Breakfast in the March 2014 issue. So I thought I would give it a trial run for you all and let you know my thoughts - its fantastic!

What I really liked about this recipe was the heart shaped egg you end up having on the top of toastie. Here are the instructions with a few additions that I made.

You will need the following per person:
Butter
2 slices of white bread
1/2 and avocado
1 egg
smoked salmon slices
watercress

1) Take one slice of break and using a heart shape cutter (the bigger the better) and cut our the shape from your slice. Keep hold of the heart that your cut out - you can fry this up with the other slices of break for a mini heart shaped slice of toast.
2) Put a large frying pan over a medium heat. Butter the slice of bread with the heart cut out of it on both sides. Place it into the frying pan and cook for about 2mins. Pop the other slice into the toaster to cook.
3) Whilst the bread is cooking slice the avocado and squeeze some lemon juice over it.
4) Flip the bread in the frying pan over and crack and egg into the heart shaped whole and cook until the fried egg is the way you like it. Putting a plate or foil over the frying pan will help the egg to cook faster without causing the bread to burn.


5) Layer up the slices of salmon and avocado on the bread that has just come out of the toaster and top with a handful of watercress.


6) Put the slice with the egg in the hole on the top and serve with a little bit of cracked black pepper on the top.

If you give this to your mum for breakfast with a cup of tea and a little posies of flowers she will be completely delighted!
