PETE EVANS’ MEXICAN EGGS
WITH PRAWNS AND
AVOCADO SALSA

PETE
EVANS

Celebrity chef Pete Evans brings some
Mexican flavours to the brekky table.

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 6 to 7 minutes

What you’ll need:
8 large free-range eggs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 handful of coriander leaves, finely chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon juice of ¼ lemon
200g raw, shelled and deveined medium prawns
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Dried chilli flakes, to serve
1 handful of rocket, to serve
Avocado Salsa
2 avocados, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
¼ medium red onion, diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 large handful of coriander leaves,
roughly chopped

How to make it:
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper,
then add the coriander, lemon zest and juice. Roughly
chop the prawns and add to the bowl.
3. In a small ovenproof frying pan, melt the coconut oil over
medium heat and add all the egg mixture. Slowly move a
spoon around the eggs for about a minute, then put the
pan in the oven for four to five minutes, or until the eggs
are lightly golden. The frittata will rise slightly and have a
delicious lightness to it. (You often get frittata that is very
firm, but I’d rather have it in a hot oven for a shorter
amount of time so there’s a little colour on top and the
middle is cooked but not absolutely set).
4. Meanwhile, place all the avocado salsa ingredients in a
bowl and mix.
5. Once the frittata is cooked, remove from the oven and slide
onto a board or plate. To serve, top with the avocado salsa,
dried red chilli and rocket and fermented veg.
Note: you can replace prawns with chicken or chorizo or bacon.
