Everything comes together on one beautiful bite.

Poach the egg in cling film
Get a small bowl ready. Line it with a piece of cling film, pressing it snugly into the bowl. Crack the egg into it, then gather up the film and tie it off with string, pulling it tight enough that no air is trapped inside. Tie it securely so the egg doesn't leak out.

Boil briefly
Bring a pot of water to the boil and lower the egg pouch in. Turn the heat down slightly so the water keeps gently bubbling rather than rolling. Cook for exactly 4 minutes, then it's done.

Prepare the bread, cheese and avocado
While the egg is cooking, you'll have just enough time to cut a slice of bread and spread it with cheese. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, peel it and slice it. Arrange the slices on the cheese-topped bread, leaving a spot for the egg.
