The Ultimate Breakfast Panini

I had half an avocado leftover in the fridge and a hankering for chili crisp. This is the result. Took about 15 minutes to throw together and it was fabulous.

Aldi (Hofer) currently have these little paninis on special and they're brilliant, 2 minutes in the toaster and they're ready to go.

You could definitely use this as a starting point and do your own thing. Rocket would make a great addition, as would fresh herbs, sausage and some kind of sweet chutney.

Crispy bacon, smashed avocado, sweet tomato, grilled onions, and a chili crisp–fried egg, all smashed between golden, toasted bread. It’s spicy, smoky, gooey, and absolutely not sorry.

1. Mash your avocado with the lime juice and season to taste.

   Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the bacon to form a triangle, the egg will cook in the centre. Cook for 2-3 minutes until ready to turn.

   Add chili crisp to centre of pan. Turn bacon and add egg to centre. Fry until white is set and yellow remains gooey.

   Toast breadroll if desired.

   Spread both sides of roll with avocado mash, top with vegetables, bacon and the egg. Drizzle with any remaining chili oil in the pan. Eat immediately and don't share!

Notes

You could use this as a starting point for just about anything. It would be great with cilantro mashed into the avocado or other herbs and spices. It would be delicious with some rocket added in and I suppose if you're American, you probably want cheese on it too. 😉
