Allergens

Eggs, Dairy (Feta Cheese)

Ingredients

• 4 cups pap (coarsely ground cornmeal)
• 8 slices bacon
• 2 avocados
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Cook the pap according to package instructions or your favorite recipe.
2. Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy. Set aside.
3. Cut avocados into thick slices and set aside.
4. In another pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped red onion and sauté until translucent.
5. Add cherry tomatoes to the pan with onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 3 minutes, or until they soften slightly.
6. Add torn basil leaves to the pan, stirring gently to combine all ingredients. Remove from heat.
7. Prepare a griddle or pan for cooking eggs. Season eggs with salt and pepper, and cook them to your desired preference.
8. To plate, spoon pap onto individual plates, creating a bed for the other ingredients. Top each serving of pap with a slice of avocado, followed by the onion, tomato, and basil mixture. Place a piece of bacon next to the vegetables. Add a cooked egg on top, and finish with a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese and Parmesan, if desired.

Chef’s Insight

To elevate the flavors and textures, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the cooked pap.

Notes

Be sure to use coarse ground cornmeal for authentic pap. To ensure the avocado is ripe and easy to cut, choose one that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
