Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Toss the onion with the flour in a bowl; season.
Lay on a nonstick baking tray and spray with the oil. Bake for 10-12 mins, until crisp.

Heat a griddle pan; brush with butter. Stir the remaining butter into the waffle mixture until combined.
Pour into the pan; cook for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Turn and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.
Meanwhile, heat a pan of water to a simmer. Add the vinegar and swirl.
Add 2 eggs and poach for 3 minutes*.
Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm. Repeat with the other 2 eggs.
In a bowl, mash the avocado flesh with the lime juice, then season.
Divide the waffle into 4 and spread each quarter with avocado.
