Make your breakfast a moment of delicious possibilities by adding avocado.
With its melt-in-your-mouth creaminess, subtle buttery flavour, and luxurious appeal, it’s easy to give your breakfast favourites the red (green) carpet treatment.
Someone once said that breakfast is a celebration of nourishment and gratitude. Adding avocados to your morning routine is a fantastic way to kickstart your day, as they’re packed with monounsaturated fats and essential nutrients like vitamin K and biotin.
- If toast is your go-to-breakfast, say goodbye to the mundane and zoosh things up with a toasted bagel topped with tuna, avocado, and a drizzle of aioli.
- Or why not make those Belgian waffles green with envy? Try avocado waffles loaded with savoury mince, topped off with slices of fresh avocado of course!
- And let’s not forget about the classic breakfast staple: eggs – Sunny Side Up!. We’re giving this beloved dish a VIP upgrade by serving it on a crispy Parmesan base, topped with avocado, spinach, and a zesty tomato chili jam.
With avocados available almost all year-round in South Africa, there’s no excuse not to indulge in these nutrient-packed treasures. So go ahead, add an avo to your healthy eating plan and savour the creamy goodness!

Sunny Side Up
Serves 1
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- Splash avocado or olive oil
- 60 ml (¼ cup) Parmesan, finely grated + extra for topping
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
- ½ avocado, sliced
- Handful baby spinach
- Tomato chilli jam, to serve
Method:
- 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.
- Add another splash of oil into the same pan and fry the egg for 3–5 minutes or until the white is set and yolk still soft. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the egg on the Parmesan crisp, topped with avocado, spinach, tomato chilli jam and extra Parmesan sprinkled over.
Tip:
To make an avo rose, place the peeled avocado half cut side down on a cutting board. Slice through the width into very thin slices and fan out into a straight line. Beginning at one end, gently roll up the slices into a spiral rose shape.
