Avocado toast is a breakfast staple for many, but this version adds a bit of a twist to make it even more satisfying. Not only is it quick to prepare, but it’s also packed with healthy fats and protein to keep you feeling full until lunch.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 slice of whole-grain bread
- 1 egg (optional)
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Lemon juice
Instructions:
- Toast your slice of whole-grain bread until it’s golden and crisp.
- Mash half an avocado with a fork, adding a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Spread the avocado mixture on your toast.
- For an added boost of protein, fry or poach an egg to place on top of the avocado toast.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of spice.
Tip: If you’re not into eggs, you can top your toast with sliced tomatoes or even smoked salmon for a savory treat.
