At a glance
You'll poach an egg in a cling-film parcel while prepping creamy avocado slices and cream cheese on bread — a clever way to have everything ready at the same time. The whole thing comes together in just 12 minutes, resulting in a comforting, show-stopping breakfast that's way easier than it looks.

Poach the egg
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 tie the film with kitchen string so it's pulled tight with no air pockets left inside. Tie it securely so the egg doesn't leak out.

Poach briefly
Bring a pot of water to the boil, then lower the egg parcel in. Turn the heat down just slightly, but keep the water gently bubbling. Cook for exactly 4 minutes, and you're 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 stone, peel it, and slice it up. Lay the slices on the cheese-topped bread, leaving a spot for the egg.
