Ingredients

🌾 4 tbsps 50g brown buckwheat
💧 250 ml water
🧂 Pinch of sea salt
🥚 2 eggs
🫒 Splash of olive oil
🥑 1 avocado
🍅 Cherry tomatoes, preferably yellow, to taste
🌿 Greens, optional, to taste

Instructions

1- Prepare Buckwheat:

• Wash the brown buckwheat under cold water to remove any impurities.
• Combine 3-4 tablespoons of washed buckwheat with 250 ml of water in a medium-sized stainless steel pot.
• Add a pinch of sea salt to the pot.

2- Cook Buckwheat:

• Place the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a boil.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the buckwheat cook for about 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.

3- Fry Buckwheat:

• Preheat a black non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
• Transfer the cooked buckwheat to the frying pan.
• Lightly fry the buckwheat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until it begins to crisp and resembles the aroma of popcorn.

4- Cook Eggs:

• Crack two eggs directly into the pan alongside the crispy buckwheat.
• Continue frying until the eggs reach your preferred doneness; sunny-side-up is recommended.

5- Serve:

• Transfer the crispy buckwheat and eggs to a white round serving plate.
• Garnish with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and greens as desired.
• Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of textures and flavors.
