Ingredients
Avocado Spread
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 clove minced garlic
Toppings
- 1 tomato, sliced (or 3-4 cherry tomatoes)
- 4-5 strips green peppers
- 3-4 olives, pitted and halved
- handful basil leaves
- handful arugula or spinach
Eggs
- 1-2 eggs, scrambled
Base
- 1-2 slices of your favorite bread
Seasoning
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast 1-2 slices of your favorite bread until golden and crisp. Allow it to cool slightly so it doesn’t warm the avocado spread too much.
- Prepare the Eggs: Scramble 1-2 eggs in your preferred way. You can also poach or fry them if you like, but scrambled eggs are recommended for this recipe.
- Mash Avocado and Garlic: Place the half avocado and minced garlic on the toasted bread. Use a fork to mash and blend them together evenly, spreading the mixture across the bread slice.
- Add Fresh Vegetables: Layer tomato slices over the avocado spread, followed by strips of green peppers, halved olives, fresh basil leaves, and a handful of arugula or spinach for added freshness and texture.
- Season: Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the assembled toppings to enhance the flavors.
- Top with Eggs and Serve: Finally, place the scrambled eggs on top of all the ingredients. Serve immediately with any leftover vegetables on the side for a complete, vibrant breakfast meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a drizzle of olive oil or a pinch of sea salt over the avocado spread.
- You can substitute arugula with spinach or kale according to your preference.
- Use whole grain or sourdough bread for added fiber and nutrients.
- To make this recipe vegan, omit the eggs or replace them with a plant-based scrambled egg alternative.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
