Nothing is more Aussie than smashed avocado on toast, its a family fave. However, when I make it, I love to fully balance the nutrition in this filling breakfast by adding protein from farm fresh eggs to create a wholefood-based recipe that will keep me satisfied and feeling full until lunch. Get the skillet sizzling and let's cook!
Toasties are a super quick breakfast to make and can be tweaked to accommodate most dietary needs from low GI, dairy-free, and gluten-free to low carb. Unless you have IBS or are on FODMAP, then avoid avocados but do swap it out for a spread of hummus. In fact, you could mix all kinds of wholefood ingredients to make breakfast toasties, and honestly, have a different tasting toastie all week!
This recipe is by fellow foodie, Aberdeen and is made in a matter minutes. Click here for her delicious recipe and Aberdeen's full instructions to make it her way.
If you are gluten-free like myself, you can definitely still enjoy this filling brekkie, just try this on a gluten-free loaf or even on rice cakes. Using rice or corn cakes also reduces the carb count if you are watching your carbs. If you use bread, always look for dense, high-fibre ingredients whether choosing bakery breads or the alternatives. Breads that contain seeds such as linseed, sunflowers, pumpkin, chia, and even nuts are good choices as they also contain some healthy fats, protein, and fibre (but may be higher in calories).
Avocado Egg Breakfast Toasties
Ingredients
1 slice of high-fibre or gluten-free bread
1/2 Hass avocado, super ripe
2 eggs, organic, free-range
2 tbsp finely chopped herbs, use your favourite
1 pinch of pink Himalayan rock salt
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tbsp cooking oil, coconut or extra virgin olive
1 pinch of cracked pepper
1 drizzle of balsamic glaze (optional)
Toast the bread and pan fry the eggs in a little olive or coconut oil. Smash the avocado in a bowl with the garlic, then spread thickly on the toast. Add the fried eggs and sprinkle with the herbs and seasoning. I like to add a drizzle of balsamic glaze but that is optional. Add a little crunch such as crispy onion, bacon bits, and high-fibre seeds such as chia.
