For the Avocado Toast
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 ripe avocados, mashed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds

Prepare the avocado toast: Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. While the bread is toasting, mash the ripe avocados in a small bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 min

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, spread 1/4 of the grated halloumi cheese evenly into a thin, roughly 4-inch square or circular layer in the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the parcels in batches.

Immediately crack one large egg directly onto the center of the grated halloumi. Allow the halloumi to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the egg white is mostly set but the yolk is still runny.

Using a thin spatula, carefully fold each side of the cooked halloumi inwards over the egg white, creating a square-shaped 'parcel' around the still-runny egg yolk. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to ensure the halloumi is sealed and crispy.

Carefully remove the crispy halloumi egg parcel from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat steps 2-4 for the remaining halloumi and eggs, adding 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan for each new parcel.
⏱️ 10 min

To assemble, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Place one crispy halloumi egg parcel on top of each avocado toast.

Garnish each parcel with a sprinkle of black and white sesame seeds. Drizzle with honey or your preferred sweet/savory glaze. Serve immediately with a spoonful of spicy relish or kimchi on the side.
