Poached egg & guacamole

May 18, 2017 | Breakfast / Brunch | 0 comments

Poaching is one of my favourite ways to cook eggs because it avoids the unnecessary use of excessive oil, especially after being heated up to high temperatures which can denature the oils. The avocado provides healthy fats, pre-biotics and minerals and will help you to feel satisfied all morning.
