Ingredients:

• Splash avocado or olive oil
• 60 ml (¼ cup) Parmesan, finely grated + extra for topping
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper
• ½ avocado, sliced
• A handful of baby spinach
• Tomato chilli jam, to serve

Method:

1. Heat a splash of oil in a small frying pan over low heat. Add the Parmesan in a thin even layer and cook for about 3 minutes or until golden. Carefully remove from the pan.
2. Add another splash of oil into the same pan and fry the egg for 3–5 minutes, or until the white is set, and the yolk is still soft. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Serve the egg on the Parmesan crisp, topped with avocado, spinach, tomato chilli jam, and extra Parmesan sprinkled over.

Tip:

To make an avocado rose, place the peeled avocado, cut side down, on a cutting board. Slice through the width into skinny slices and fan out into a straight line. Beginning at one end, gently roll up the slices into a spiral rose shape.
