Total Time 10 minutesminutes

Ingredients
2avocados
4tbspcrème fraîche (38% fat)
1tincaviar, I prefer the gold variety30-50 g, depending on how much you want
1/2lemon, juice of
1tbspfinely chopped chives
Salt and pepper
Lavender flowers and dill (optional)
Instructions
Halve the avocados, remove the stones and grill them cut side down on a hot griddle pan until they take on colour – about 3 minutes.
Scoop the avocado halves out of their skins with a spoon and place one half on each plate.*It helps to cut a thin slice off the rounded underside so the half sits steadily on the plate.
Squeeze a little lemon juice over the avocados and season with freshly ground pepper and a little salt.
Place a spoonful of crème fraîche in the hollow where the stone was and top with caviar. Use as much as you like.
Sprinkle with chives and, if you like, a few lavender flowers and sprigs of dill.
