This vibrant avocado and poached egg toast is a sophisticated take on a modern breakfast favourite. Combining the creamy texture of smashed avocado with the bright, acidic burst of heirloom tomatoes, it offers a beautifully balanced start to the day. The addition of aromatic Meyer lemon oil and a delicate herb salad elevates the dish, providing a citrusy lift that cuts through the richness of the perfectly runny yolk.

Designed for those seeking a nutritious and filling meal, this high-protein vegetarian dish is packed with healthy fats and slow-release energy from the multigrain bread.
