Method

  1. 1

    Toast the sourdough until deeply golden — don't be shy, texture matters.

  2. 2

    Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and poach the eggs 3 minutes for a runny yolk.

  3. 3

    Halve the avocado, scoop into a bowl and squash with a fork. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Pile the smash onto the toast, top with the poached egg, chilli flakes and micro greens.

  5. 5

    Finish with more sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Orchard tip

Reed avocados stay creamier and don't oxidise as fast — perfect for a lazy weekend brunch board.
