    Breakfast Bruschetta

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 400-500g rump steak
    • 2 whole garlic cloves, crushed
    • 5 thyme sprigs, stripped
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 500ml boiling water
    • 8 eggs
    • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
    • 8 thick slices French bread
    • 2 medium avocados
    • 10g wild rocket
    • DRESSING
    • ½ cup plain yoghurt
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • ¼ cup smooth Dijon mustard
    • 3 - 4 tablespoons honey, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    Instructions

    1

    GLAZE a large frying pan with oil over medium-high heat. Place the rump steak in the pan, with crushed garlic cloves, thyme and butter. Cook evenly for 2-3 minutes on both sides, keep it a little bit longer on the fatty side to get a nice crisp and set aside to let it rest. Do not slice yet.

    POACHED EGGS

    2

    POUR 500ml boiling water and vinegar into a small pot and bring to a simmer. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low. Crack open the eggs one at a time into separate ramekins or egg poaching cups. 

    3

    CAREFULLY slide the eggs one at a time into the water. For a firm white and runny yolk, you’ll want to poach for 3-4 minutes.  Remove with a slotted spoon once done to your liking and set aside. 

    DRESSING

    4

    WHISK all the ingredients together until combined. Add more honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing.

    TO ASSEMBLE

    5

    TOAST the bread slices. Top with avocado, wild rocket, steak slices and poached egg. Finish off with creamy dressing and enjoy!
