The Ultimate Hangover Breakfast: Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

Avocado toast: the breakfast king (or queen), beloved for its simplicity and versatility. But for the adventurous foodie, there's always room for a twist! Today, we're giving this classic dish a Schezwan makeover, using the bold and fiery flavours of Chilzo’s Schezwan Sauce to create an explosion of taste and texture.

A Californian Icon!

While the exact origin of avocado toast is unclear, its rise to fame can be traced back to the 1990s California cuisine scene. Initially enjoyed by health-conscious individuals, it soon gained mainstream popularity due to its simple yet satisfying nature. The creamy avocado, often mashed and seasoned, provided a healthy base for endless topping variations, making it a versatile and customizable dish.

From Sichuan with Spice

Schezwan Sauce, originating from the Sichuan province of China, is a complex flavour bomb. Chilis, garlic, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns come together in a fiery symphony, balanced by the tang of vinegar and the umami of fermented soybeans. Chilzo's Schezwan Sauce takes this flavour profile to new heights, using sun-ripened chillies to create a sauce that is both authentic and delicious.
