Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 small naan breads
- 4 tbsp low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tbsp mango chutney
- 1 avocado, halved and sliced
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 green chilli, finely sliced

Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Heat Oil: Heat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6 to warm the naan breads later. While the oven is heating, add the vegetable oil to a pan over medium heat to prepare for frying the eggs.
- Fry the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the hot pan and fry them until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny or cooked to your preference.
