Zesty Avocado Toast with Eggs

I absolutely LOVE this Zesty Avocado Toast with Eggs for breakfast. It really is the most important meal of the day. I find it certainly starts the day off right and wards off that infamous mid-morning “hangry” feeling. In honour of Heart Month, I featured this recipe in the Easy (& filling) Breakfasts blog. Did you know that heart disease is the second most common cause of death in Canada? This topic is essential because 8 in 10 cases of premature heart disease and stroke are preventable through healthy lifestyle behaviours. Consequently, this recipe is something that can be enjoyed on a relaxed weekend but can also be used as a “make-ahead” option for the busy work week ahead.

• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cook time ~ 10 minutes to hard-cook eggs (see Hard-Cooked Eggs to Perfection)

Ingredients:

• Hard-Cooked eggs, see recipe for Hard-Cooked Eggs to Perfection
• High-Fibre bread, toasted (TIP: Look for 4-5 grams of fibre per slice)
• 1 cup of arugula
• 1 avocado, smashed
• ½ lime, juiced
• ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
• salt and pepper to taste

Garnish: Balsamic glaze and fresh parsley

Zesty Avocado Toast with Eggs Directions

1. Firstly, hard-cook a batch of eggs. I shared a recipe on Hard-Cooked Eggs to Perfection! I certainly love how the the yolks turn out velvety. However, they only keep in the fridge for 7 days.
2. Secondly, smash an avocado and add lime juice and cherry tomatoes. You may also want to add salt and pepper to taste here.
3. Toast bread and spread avocado mix on top.
4. Sprinkle arugula over avocado spread.
5. Slice hard-cooked eggs and place on top.
6. Finally, drizzle balsamic glaze; add salt and pepper.
