Fiery harissa is a match made in heaven with eggs. Originally from Tunisia, you can use harissa to perk up a lot of vegetable dishes. It is available from most supermarkets.

Quick and easy to make you can also serve this Smashed Avocado Toast for brunch or lunch.

Make sure the egg is very fresh otherwise it will be difficult to poach.

    This recipe is excellent for breakfast / brunch then my Ahi or Salmon Poke with the avocado spread for dinner! Awesome meals, the toasted bread I had spread mayo and sprinkled Harissa powder on top as opposed to making paste for the spread! Thanks for sharing!
