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
- 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.
- Meanwhile thinly slice the avocado, drizzle over the lemon juice.
- To peel the eggs, crack the shells all over on a hard surface. Then peel the shell off, and rinse.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
