Avocado & Half-Cooked Egg Croissant. We were delighted to come across this cute sandwich at a cafe in Sinsa (Garosu-gil district). It caught Katie's attention and we ended up wolfing down two of them, alongside a freshly brewed Americano. We recreated it at home this weekend and it tasted just as good. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, consider this for brunch...
The hardest part about this recipe is nailing down the soft-boiled egg. (Of course, you can cook it to your preference.) But we think it tests best when the yolk has set but is slightly gooey. Makes the sandwich look very appetizing!
Now, they're many articles that teach you how to get the "perfect" soft-boiled eggs. But they fail to consider what type of pot you're using. Pots - depending on the material - retain heat differently. So chances are, you're eggs won't look as "perfect" as the author suggested. The best thing to is to take the pot out of the equation. I'll show you how in the instructions below.
It doesn't get better than avocado + croissant. Let's re-energize and get an awesome start to 2019 🙂

Instructions
Make Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg.

- Then slice the egg into 3-4 pieces.
Make Avocado
- Dice avocado and place into a mixing bowl.
- Use a fork to mash it up - until you get a smooth texture
- Add in salt, diced cilantro and few squeezes of lime. Sample it and season to taste.
