Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 lemon, juiced
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 green onions
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 leeks
• ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted
• ¾ cup light olive oil
• 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), melted
• 1 ripe avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from skin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Discard green tops and the bottom 1/2 inch of the leeks. Cut leeks in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Place leeks and green onions on a sheet pan. Drizzle with ghee. Add sea salt and pepper.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare vinaigrette by blending avocado, 3/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper thoroughly in a food processor.

Step 6

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into opposite sides of the skillet and cook until whites are barely set and yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove leeks and onions from oven and top with the sunny-side up eggs. Sprinkle almonds and red pepper flakes on top. Finish with a drizzle of the avocado vinaigrette.
