MS’s “little black dress”…

This dish is yummy, quick, cheap, low in calories, rich in fibers and can be eaten as a breakfast, as a lunch or as a dinner… 

Is this the perfect dish? It definitely qualifies for that! Rye bread and toppings is officially the equivalent of Coco’s “little black dress” for us. It’s our new definition of classic dish i.e. a dish that can be suitable whatever the season is, whatever the time of the day is, whatever the ingredients that we have are, due to it’s diverse behavior: it can be combined with 2-3 ingredients or more and make something wonderful and so easy and healthy to make.

The main players of this version of the recipe are of an oriental nature

  • Rye Bread, which is full of fiber and linked to several health benefits such as improved heart and digestive health
  • Avocado, which a creamy and nutrient dense choice; has 20 vitamins and minerals
  • Poached Eggs, which are loaded with deliciousness and gooey but still running yolk
  • Pickled ginger, which is full of aroma and exclusive sophisticated flavor
  • Cucumber, which is full of freshness

Technical Tips

• Rye Bread contains low fat and high in fiber, thus making it ideal for those pursuing a wholesome and fiber-rich snack. I use the Delba Rye Bread that can come in different versions i.e. with pumpkin seeds etc. The pack contains 5 slices. I always have an unoppened pack in my fridge.

• Poached eggs are not fully cooked. However, most of the eggs sold are pasteurized to avoid the risk of food borne illnesses such as salmonella or avian flu. Pasteurized eggs are gently heated in their shells, just enough to kill the bacteria but not enough to actually cook the egg, making them safe to use in any recipe that calls for uncooked or partially cooked eggs.
