Simple, tasty and oh-so-Instagram worthy, Luke Hines’ loaded avos make the perfect weekend breakfast – or brunch!

Ingredients

2 avocados, halved
80ml extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbs flat-leaf parsley leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the dukkah

3 tbs sesame seeds
70g (1/2 cup) pistachio kernels, finely chopped
3 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt

Lemony dream cheese

240g (1 1/2 cups) macadamia nuts or cashew nuts
3 tbs canned coconut milk or coconut cream
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp sea salt

Method

Step 1.
For the dukkah, toast the sesame seeds in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until golden. Add the pistachios, ground spices and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in the salt and set aside to cool.

Step 2.
For the dream cheese, add all the ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender and blitz until smooth and creamy.

Step 3.
To serve, arrange the avocado halves cut-side up on individual serving plates and fill the holes of each with a tablespoon or so of dream cheese. Drizzle over the olive oil, sprinkle over the dukkah and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Tuck in.
