Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Avocado Flatbread
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, mash the chopped flesh of 3 ripe avocados until smooth. Add the juice of 1 lemon, 1 large egg, 50 g (1.8 oz) grated hard cheese, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined into a thick, spreadable dough.
- Divide the avocado mixture into 4-6 portions. Spread each portion on the prepared baking sheet into thin, round flatbread shapes, about 3-4 mm (1/8 inch) thick and 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) in diameter.
- Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
- While the flatbreads bake, prepare the creamy herb cheese spread: In a bowl, combine 100 g (3.5 oz) grated hard cheese, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon plain yogurt, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well. Repeat in a second bowl for the second 100 g cheese, remaining dill, garlic, yogurt, salt, and pepper.
- For poached eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack 2 eggs into the water and poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny. Remove with a slotted spoon. (Alternatively, boil 2 eggs for 8-10 minutes until hard-boiled, then peel and slice.)
- Remove the baked avocado flatbreads from the oven. Spread one version of the creamy herb cheese mixture evenly over half of the flatbreads.
- Top with fresh spinach leaves, sliced tomatoes, poached or boiled eggs, and slices of mozzarella cheese.
- For the remaining flatbreads, spread the second creamy herb cheese mixture, then layer with arugula, sliced tomatoes, and additional mozzarella if desired.
- Optionally, return the assembled flatbreads to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the mozzarella. Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve warm.
