Protein-Packed Breakfast Toast

This meal provides a fantastic balance of healthy fats, fiber, and high-quality protein to keep you energized.

Ingredients

• Bread: 2-3 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

• Base: 1/2 avocado (mashed or sliced) and 2 tbsp hummus

• Protein: 3-4 large eggs (2 fried sunny-side up, 1-2 scrambled as shown)

• Produce: 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved) and fresh lemon wedges

• Pantry: 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper

• Optional: Red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze

  Instructions

  1. Prepare the Toast: Toast your bread slices until they are golden brown and sturdy enough to hold the toppings.

  2. Sauté the Tomatoes: Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until they are slightly softened and blistered. Remove and set aside.

  3. Cook the Eggs:

     • Sunny-side up: In the same pan, crack two eggs. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

     • Scrambled: Whisk the remaining eggs and cook them gently in a lightly greased pan until soft and fluffy.

  4. Assemble the Toasts:

     • Toast 1: Spread a thick layer of hummus and top with the scrambled eggs.

     • Toast 2: Spread the mashed avocado and top with the two sunny-side-up eggs.

     • Toast 3: Arrange the sautéed cherry tomatoes over the bare toast or a light layer of hummus.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Season everything with the remaining salt and pepper. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the avocado to brighten the flavor. Serve with extra avocado slices on the side and a fresh green juice.
