Add tomatoes, chipotle chillies and maple syrup, mix well then bring to simmering point then reduce to low and cook for about 20 minutes, until sauce becomes thick stirring occasionally.

To finish sauce add lime juice and salt to taste. It should be a nice balance of hot, sour and slightly sweet. Blitz in food processor or blender until smooth.

Wipe clean frypan and add in one tablespoon olive oil, when hot, add in a few of the Cheesymite scroll slices and fry on each side for a minute or so until light golden and crispy, be careful not to burn. Place on absorbent paper towel and set aside. Repeat with remaining slices.

Add a little olive oil to the pan and fry eggs sunny side up until cooked through to your liking. Drizzle lime juice over avocado slices.

Top crispy Cheesymite scroll with a dollop of spicy sauce, fried egg, slices of avocado and garnish with lime zest, coriander leaves and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
