Avocado and Egg on toast

Struck by how many of our posts involve chocolate we decided to try to find some of the (many) recipes we have that don't contain the stuff!  Breakfast dishes seemed a good place to start and I was reminded of a lovely, simple dish we used to have a while back.

The ingredients were gathered together - avocado (ripe), slice of Genius gluten free seeded bread and one egg.






Then, whilst the bread was being toasted, the avocado was mashed and the egg was fried.


Once the avocado was mashed, it was spread on the warm slice of toast.

After covering the toast with the avocado, the fried egg was added and our healthy, quick and tasty snack was ready to eat.
If you want to make this a more 'hearty' meal, then adding some fried bacon works very well indeed!

Simple Avocado Dip

This is a really easy avocado dip recipe... with just 3 ingredients. You will have to judge the amounts as it depends on the size of avocado and lemon as to how much you will need. But to make the dip shown below, we used one small (ripe) avocado, the juice of half a lemon and two dessertspoons of ready made (gluten free) mayonnaise.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl... I use a fork for this usually (and this is where it's important the avocado is ripe), but if we are being 'posh' then sous chef J will help out by blending with our Braun Hand Blender.

Having combined all the ingredients in the dip, serve with dippers - we like to use beetroot crisps, carrot sticks, cucumber and apple...... but cheese, GF breadsticks, courgette sticks and crispy streaky bacon also go well.

Simple, tasty and easy to eat... what more could we ask for?!
