Ingredients:
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 2 small eggs
- 50ml cashew milk per person
- 1 small, flat teaspoon of Row&Ma's Organic Ceremonial Grade A Japanese Matcha
- Some tablespoons of panko, sesame seeds, or flaked almonds for coating
- Fresh tomatoes, peppers, or green salad for garnish
- You may add ham or smoked salmon to make the main dish more filling.
Instructions:
1. Avocado Preparation
- Set your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin.
- Sprinkle panko, sesame seeds, or flaked almonds on a plate and coat the avocado halves until fully covered.
- Put the coated avocado halves on a baking tray and bake for 5–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Matcha Emulsion
- Warm the cashew milk to a simmer, without letting it boil.
- Blend until it froths and becomes aerated.
- The optimal temperature is 50–70°C to extract the best flavor from the Matcha while maintaining the nutrient level.
- Stir in the Row&Ma's Organic Ceremonial Grade A Japanese Matcha into the warm milk.
- You can froth the emulsion if desired by using a milk frother like for a Matcha latte.
3. Cook the Soft-Boiled Eggs
- Bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt or some lemon juice.
- Put room temperature eggs in the boiling water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes according to their size.
- Remove eggs from the boiling water to a bowl of iced water, cooling them down to stop cooking and peeling.
- Peel the eggs when cooled and set aside.
4. Build the Dish
- Set the baked avocado halves on the serving plate.
- Nestle a soft-boiled egg into each avocado half.
- Generously drizzle the Matcha emulsion over the egg and avocado.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve Matcha Molletta as a starter or pair it with a vibrant salad of tomatoes, peppers, or greens for a fresh and colorful side.
- For a heartier option, add slices of ham or smoked salmon to mimic classic Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale.
Final Thoughts:
