I got this recipe from Mama's Gotta Bake. I've changed the quantities so that it serves 2. Servings are cooked in individual ramekins, so the quantity can simply be doubled or tripled to serve more people.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup sugar
• ⅛ cup flour
• 1 egg, separated
• 10g butter (about 2 teaspoonfuls
• ⅓ cup whole milk
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• ⅛ cup fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
• pinch of salt
• Raw, or some other coarse sugar, to sprinkle on top

Method

1. Beat the egg yolk and butter until combined
2. Add the sugar and beat well.
   
3. Add milk, zest, and juice.
4. Add flour and mix smooth.
5. In another bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold egg white into lemon mixture.
7. Pour into individual ramekins.
8. Liberally sprinkle sugar on top.
9. Bake for 30-40 minutes in a waterbath* in a pre-heated 180° oven, or until sugar caramelises and tops are golden brown. Be careful not to let the sugar burn.

*I place the filled ramekins into a large roasting pan and add boiling water to come half-way up the ramekins.

I found this avocado recipe to use up some of the surplus avocados we have. It makes 12.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• ½ cup cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ salt
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted

Method

1. Sift flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
2. Stir in sugar.
3. Mix in eggs and milk until you have a smooth batter. I just do all of this by hand.
   
4. Discard any dark bits on the avocado and mash with a fork.
5. Add avocado to the batter, mixing until just smooth.
6. Spoon batter into a greased muffin pan.
7. Bake 180°C for 15 minutes, until cooked through and the tops are golden.
8. Cool for a few minutes in the tray before turning out onto a wire rack.

We had a surplus of avocados so I made this as a starter. I used a narrow stick of bread to get bite-sized servings. Something to serve at my next party.

Ingredients

• 1 fresh avocado, cubed
• ½ red onion, diced
• ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tomato, cubed
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 sourdough stick

Method

1. Combine avocado, onion, oil, lemon juice, tomato and cheese in a bowl.
2. Toast slices of the sourdough.
3. Rub garlic clove onto toast and pile with avocado mixture.
4. Grill until cheese melts.
