How to make

  1. Begin by cutting the lime into wedges. Mash the ripe avocado in a medium bowl, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the top.
  2. Using the heart-shaped cookie cutter, carefully cut out the centre of both slides of sourdough bread.
  3. Heat a dash of butter in a medium-sized frying pan over a medium heat. Once it’s melted, swirl to coat the pan.
  4. Add the first slice of bread to the pan and fry until golden brown on one side. Using a spatula, flip the bread over.
  5. Turn the heat to low and crack an egg into the hole in the bread. Cook for around two minutes, or until the egg is cooked through. You can also flip the bread over to finish cooking the egg on the reverse!
  6. Repeat with the second slice of bread and egg.
  7. Once the egg-filled toast is cooked, serve immediately and enjoy!
