1 onion, finely chopped
150g cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
1 avocado, chopped
1 green or jalapeño chilli, deseeded finely chopped
1 lime, juice
3 tbsp olive oil
1 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground paprika
400g can black beans, drained, liquid reserved
4 large eggs
4 slice/s wholegrain sourdough
½ x 25g pack coriander, roughly chopped
100g feta, crumbled

To make the salsa, put 2 tbsp of the chopped onion in a bowl with the cherry tomatoes, avocado, ½ of the chilli and a pinch of salt. Pour over ½ of the lime juice, then set aside until ready to serve.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the remaining onion with a pinch of salt for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and remaining chilli; fry for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cumin, paprika and beans, and fry for 2 minutes more. Add ½ of the bean liquid (discard the rest) and simmer for 1-2 minutes, then use a potato masher to roughly crush the beans. Add the remaining lime juice; take off the heat.
Use the remaining 1 tbsp oil to fry the eggs in a small frying pan. Meanwhile, toast the sourdough. To serve, top the toast with the beans. Stir the coriander through the a fried egg and some feta; serve straight away.
