AvoMayoPrawn Tartine

Okay I know. Enough of having things with eggs on top. Or eggs in different ways, right? Actually I was talking, not to you dear reader, but to my tastebuds. They have been insulted lately due to my uncreative efforts of having egg in each and every way for breakfast for the past hmm... at least a week and for today's breakfast, they demanded something else. Something with no egg but just as satisfying with a cup of Lavazza coffee. So while re-reading my posts, I saw a couple of avocados and remembered that I had bought some frozen prawns last weekend (this being the middle of Germany, most of my seafood comes frozen). So out came the idea for breakfast, which I think can be a great open-faced sandwich lunch/brunch idea as well (and with no egg!)

Feel free to use whatever bread you have. I just happened to have some leftover potato and rye bread from the local bakery. It turned out so good I had 3 big slices with 3 mounds of avocado-mayonnaise-prawn topping. And my little girl loved to pick the avocado and the prawns from the chunky creamy topping with her hands. A bit messy perhaps but I just love that she's eating it! Hmm maybe we will have some more tomorrow.

Avomayoprawn Tartine (feeds Mommy and daughter)

• 3 slices of bread, toasted and buttered
• 1 avocado, more or less, scooped out with a teaspoon and plonked on bread
• 6 prawns, chopped into chunky pieces
• 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise (I used Japanese mayo)
• Salt pepper
• Squeeze of lemon
• A few slices of cherry tomatoes, if so inclined.

Mash prawns with mayo and seasoning and lemon, making sure that the lemon does not overpower the taste. Drop dollops of creamy prawn mixture between the spoonfuls of avocado on the toasted bread, perhaps with an extra sprinkling of black pepper and/or parmesan on top. Creamy goodness amidst crunchiness in less than 10 minutes. Add sips of coffee in between (and close your eyes to your toddler making a mess - you can clean up waaaaayyy later). Sigh with happiness, repeat.
