Avocado and egg sliders

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 6 British Lion eggs
  • 1 ready to eat avocado
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 2 medium leaves curly lettuce
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp black and white sesame seeds

Method

  1. Place the British Lion eggs into a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by 1cm. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for seven minutes. As soon as they are cooked drain and cool them rapidly under cold running water.
  2. Meanwhile thinly slice the avocado, drizzle over the lemon juice.
  3. To peel the eggs, crack the shells all over on a hard surface. Then peel the shell off, and rinse.
  4. Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise, then cut a small slice off the base of six of them, so the egg slider can lay flat and not tip over once assembled.
  5. Slice the ends off the tomato, then cut the remaining into six slices. Cut six small pieces off the lettuce leaves and divide between the egg bases, then top with a tomato slice and the avocado. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Put the other half of the egg face down on top to create a little sandwich. Secure with a toothpick inserted down the centre. Brush the tops very lightly with a drop of water then sprinkle over the chilli flakes and sesame seeds.

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 200g chestnut mushrooms, finely sliced

  • 4 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
  • 8 British Lion eggs
