Hot Honey Halloumi Avocado Toast

Ingredients

• ½ avocado, ripe
• 3 tbsp parsley, finely chopped, split: 2 tbsp for the avocado + 1 tbsp optional topping
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 spring onions, scallions, finely chopped
• 5 tsp honey, split: 4 tsp for the honey-chilli mix + 1 tsp optional topping
• 3 tsp dried chilli flakes, split: 2 tsp for the honey-chilli mix + 1 tsp optional topping
• 2 eggs, medium, free-range, at room temperature
• 100g (3¼oz) halloumi, sliced about 1cm (½ inch) thick
• 2 slices of sourdough, or bread of choice
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix in most of the parsley, the lemon juice and the spring onions.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine most of the honey, most of the dried chilli flakes and a little salt.
4. Warm this mixture in the microwave on HIGH for about 15 seconds or until it turns runny.
5. Fill a small pan with water and bring to a gentle boil, then carefully add the eggs and let them simmer for 6 minutes.
6. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of iced water for 3 minutes, then peel once cooled.
7. While the eggs are cooking, fry the halloumi slices over a medium-high heat for about 2 minutes on each side, drizzling with the warmed mixture as you flip the slices occasionally, until golden brown and sticky.
8. Meanwhile, toast the sourdough.
9. Spread the avocado mixture onto the toasted sourdough slices.
10. Top with the sticky halloumi and the optional toppings of the remaining parsley, dried chilli flakes and honey.
11. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place them on the side or on top of each slice, based on your preference.
