From the Italian meaning ‘to toast’ and traditionally served with tomatoes mixed with other tasty ingredients.
1 large Bird Brothers egg
2 thick slices ciabatta bread
5ml/1 tsp olive oil
1 large tomato, diced
15ml/1 tbsp snipped fresh basil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 sliced avocado, halved
15ml/1 tbsp virtually fat free vinaigrette style dressing
1. Place the egg in a small pan of cold water. Bring slowly to the boil, then cook for 6 mins. Drain, rinse in cold water, tap the shell all over and remove. Slice the egg.
2. Brush both sides of the bread with the oil and cook under a hot grill until golden and crisp on both sides. Mix the tomato and basil with plenty of seasoning.
3. Divide the tomato between the bread slices, top each with the avocado and eggs and drizzle a little dressing over each. Serve immediately.
4. Enjoy!
