Ingredients:
• 1 large avocado
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
• Drizzle of oil (for frying)
• 150g chorizo, sliced on an angle
• 250g block halloumi, sliced into 8 pieces
• 1 large baguette or 2 smaller ones
• Small bunch coriander, leaves picked
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mash the avocado with the lime juice. Season to taste.

3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
4. Add the chorizo slices and cook until slightly crispy and releasing oils. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same pan, fry the halloumi slices for 2–3 mins on each side until golden.
6. Slice the baguette(s) lengthways and toast lightly if desired.
7. Spread the smashed avocado on the bottom half.
8. Layer with chorizo, halloumi, red onion, and coriander leaves.
9. Close the baguette, cut into portions, and serve warm.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
• Use reduced-fat halloumi if preferred
• Swap baguette for a wholegrain or gluten-free version
• Add chilli flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for heat
• Skip the coriander if you’re not a fan
Storage & Meal Prep:
• Best eaten fresh, but individual parts (onion, avocado, chorizo) can be made ahead
• To reheat: warm the filled baguette in foil in a low oven or sandwich press
• Make a larger batch for sharing at brunch
Ideal For:
• Brunch lovers and flavour chasers
• Protein-hungry foodies
• Weekend treat seekers
• Anyone who wants a grown-up breakfast sandwich
