Red Plum Puff Toast

Ingredients: (makes 4 Toasts)

1 large Red Plum

1 sheet Puff Pastry Thawed Dough (I use Pepperidge Farm Frozen Dough)

4 tsp. Granulated Sugar

1 tbsp. Butter

1 large Egg

Instructions:

PREHEAT oven to 425F

Take thawed puff pastry dough and cut into equal quarters

Cut plum into quarters and then slice those quarters into thin slices, try to get 5-6 slices our of each quarter

Place puff pastry dough quarters into a baking sheet, I lined mine with a silicone mat so no greasing was necessary. If you are using foil make sure you grease it with additional butter.

Lightly slice an inner square into the puff pastry dough, creating a boarder/”frame”

Place plum slices onto the puff pastry dough, containing the slices within the boarder, leaving a crust. *1 plum quarter per puff pastry square

Beat egg and lightly coat puff pastry dough “crust” with the egg wash.

Cut the 1 tbsp. of butter into 4 equal slices. Place a slice of butter over the plum slices, feel free cut butter into smaller pieces to evenly distribute.

Sprinkle 1 tsp. of granulated sugar over each toast, coating the “crust” and plums.

BAKE for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is fully puffed and browned.

ENJOY warm or cold or at room temp! This recipe is truly tasty either way!

Poached Yolk Avocado Toast

Ingredients:

Bread of choice

1 Avocado

1 Egg Yolk

1 Radish, thinly sliced

Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions:

-Toast bread of choice.

-Scoop out avocado onto toast

-Mash avocado on bread with a fork. Play with the designs, have fun with it!

-Add radish slices, red pepper flakes, or any other garnish you like. I just happened to use radishes and extra avocado.

-POACH EGG YOLK: (actually super easy) Boil water in a small pot. Once water is boiling, create a cyclone in the water by stirring it fast.* While water is swirling, add egg yolk. Try and keep the water moving. Cook for about 30 seconds. GENTLY remove yolk and place it on the Avocado Toast.

*Depending on the type of pot you use, sometimes the yolk can stick to the bottom so that is why swirling the water is important. If you know your pans and they won't stick, then just keep doin' you!
