Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 leeks
3 green onions
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), melted
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ripe avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from skin
¾ cup light olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
¼ cup red wine vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 eggs
¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Discard green tops and the bottom 1/2 inch of the leeks. Cut leeks in half lengthwise.
  • Place leeks and green onions on a sheet pan. Drizzle with ghee. Add sea salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Prepare vinaigrette by blending avocado, 3/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper thoroughly in a food processor.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into opposite sides of the skillet and cook until whites are barely set and yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove leeks and onions from oven and top with the sunny-side up eggs. Sprinkle almonds and red pepper flakes on top. Finish with a drizzle of the avocado vinaigrette.

These were a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning or maybe a sauce. The leeks were cooked well, but the eggs were a bit overcooked.

Not a fan. The leeks were too tough and the eggs were overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual breakfast routine.

Meh. Not my cup of tea. The leeks were too strong for my taste and the eggs were a bit too runny. I think I'll pass on this recipe next time.

Not bad, but not great either. The leeks were a bit tough and the eggs were a bit dry. I think I'll stick to my usual breakfast routine.
