Ingredients (serves 2)

1 large British Lion eggs

1 wholemeal seeded bagel, halved

½ ripe avocado, stoned and peeled

A squeeze of lemon

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 cherry tomatoes, halved

Method

Fill a frying pan with 5cm water and bring to the boil. Meanwhile toast the bagel.

Mash the avocado with salt and pepper to taste and a squeeze of lemon, if liked.

Crack the egg into a saucer, then tip it into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook or three minutes.

While the egg cooks, divide the avocado between the two halves of bagel, spreading it to the edges. Place on two warm plates.

Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg from the water, allow to drain, then place on top of the bagels and serve.
