Guacamole is a very easy-to-make, fresh and healthy Mexican delight. It's also vegan, and budget-friendly. This dish is the perfect way to start your day.

Ingredients

2 ripe avocado
1 lime
1 fresh red chilli
Half bulb of red onion
cloves of garlic
Half bell pepper
1 tomato
Fresh coriander
1 egg

Method

First we need to cut our avocados in half, with the help of a knife, and take out the seed. Then with a spoon, we can scoop out the avocados and put them in a bowl. Mash them up with a fork till you get a rustic creamy texture.
Chop your red onion, chilli and bell pepper into tiny (1cm) pieces and put them in your avocado paste.
Cut one tomato into wedges and with a knife, take out the soft part with the seeds and cut them into small pieces. Chop a little bunch of coriander roughly and add them to your bowl. Squeeze a good dash of fresh lime in the guacamole and add salt and pepper by taste. Give it a good stir and your guacamole is done.
In the meantime, put a small pot of water to boil. Then reduce the heat, we need the water to simmer softly. Give a little stir to make a little whirlpool in the middle of the pot, then break your egg and gently put it in the water and cook it for about 3-4 minutes. Some people like to put a dash of vinegar in the water but is not essential.
Warm up your breakfast muffins and cut them in half. Spread a thick layer of guacamole, then gently put your poached egg on top. Enjoy!
