  1. Firstly prepare for the cooking by 2/3 filling a medium sized saucepan with water and put it on to boil. Add a splash of vinegar.

  2. Now halve the avocado and remove the stone. Place the two halves in a glass mixing bowl and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the avocado. Add some Maldons sea salt and ground black pepper.

  6. By now the water should be boiling. Using tongs carefully lower the ramekins into the boiling water and poach for 4 minutes. The use of ramekins helps keep the shape of the poached egg.

  7. Whilst the eggs are poaching lay a sliver of smoked salmon over the avocado.
