The Portuguese One: Bruschetta with Tomato, Avocado, and Quail Egg
STEP 1
Fill a small saucepan two thirds full with water and bring to a boil. Add the quail’s eggs using a spoon. Boil for 2 to 4 minutes depending on your preference (I did 2:30 minutes). Remove and cool down under cold running water or in a bowl filled with ice water. Peel the eggs very carefully.
STEP 2
Grill your bread.
STEP 3
Rub toast with peeled garlic and drizzle with olive oil.
STEP 4
Cut your tomatoes into four pieces and cut avocado into chunky pieces. Mix both together with chopped parsley, some salt and pepper.

Place a spoon of the tomato-avocado mix on each slice of bread.
STEP 6
Cut eggs in half and put on top of your toast.
STEP 7
Sprinkle some dried oregano on top.
