Economical vegetarian breakfast with cornbread, poached eggs, and avocado, pair with a cappuccino for a complete meal!
Ingredients:
  • 199.50 gm polenta
  • 250.00 ml plain flour
  • 8.00 gm baking powder
  • 260.00 gm buttermilk
  • 150g butter, melted
  • 9 eggs
  • 1 avocado, quartered
  • 100g grape tomatoes, sliced
  • 62.50 ml small fresh coriander leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Grease a 7cm-deep, 8.5cm x 22.5cm loaf pan and line with baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together polenta, flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add buttermilk, butter, and 1 egg. Gently stir until combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before unmolding onto a wire rack to cool completely as mentioned in the notes.
  • Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and heat over medium-high until simmering. Crack 1 egg into a cup. Swirl the simmering water, gently slide in the egg, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes for a soft yolk. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the egg to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the eggs.
  • Cut 8 thick slices, about 1.5cm thick, from the cornbread. Toast until golden. Top with avocado, tomato, eggs, and coriander. Drizzle with oil and serve.
