  • 8 eggs
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup roasted peppers, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • Seasoning: smoked paprika, garlic and saffron
  • Sauce: 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Step 1. Season the egg with smoked paprika, garlic and saffron.

    Heat
    Off, no heat
    Look for
    Everything is evenly coated or just combined, with no dry pockets.
    Why it matters
    Mixing spreads salt, fat and flavour through the food so every bite tastes the same.
    Avoid
    Overmixing batters and doughs makes them tough; stop once just combined.

  2. Step 2. Cook the egg for 6 minutes until done; cool slightly.

    Heat
    Medium to high, stir or flip now and then
    Look for
    Golden-brown edges, a steady sizzle and a toasty smell.
    Why it matters
    Browning (the Maillard reaction) creates deep savoury flavour that boiling cannot.
    Avoid
    Overcrowding the pan: the temperature drops and food steams. Cook in batches.

  3. Step 3. Whisk the sauce (3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sherry vinegar) into a dressing.

    Heat
    Off, no heat
    Look for
    Everything is evenly coated or just combined, with no dry pockets.
    Why it matters
    Mixing spreads salt, fat and flavour through the food so every bite tastes the same.
    Avoid
    Overmixing batters and doughs makes them tough; stop once just combined.

  4. Step 4. Arrange greens, cucumber and vegetables in bowls.

    Heat
    Off, no heat yet
    Look for
    Pieces are roughly the same size, so they all finish cooking together.
    Why it matters
    Even pieces cook at the same speed. Prepping everything first (mise en place) stops you scrambling once the pan is hot.
    Avoid
    Cutting pieces of mixed sizes: small ones burn while big ones stay raw.

  5. Step 5. Top with the egg and avocado.

    Heat
    Keep the heat steady
    Look for
    The new ingredient is coated and the mixture returns to a gentle bubble.
    Why it matters
    Adding things in order lets each ingredient cook for just the right time.
    Avoid
    Dumping everything in at once: delicate items turn mushy before tougher ones are done.

  6. Step 6. Drizzle with dressing and finish with parsley.

    Heat
    Warm plates
    Look for
    Hot food on warm plates with a fresh, bright garnish on top.
    Why it matters
    Garnish adds colour, crunch and freshness. Tasting and adjusting salt or acid at the end lifts the whole dish.
    Avoid
    Waiting too long: the dish cools and crisp parts go soft.
