Health Benefits of the Main Ingredients

• Avocado: Avocados are packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help keep your cholesterol in check. They’re also rich in fiber, which helps keep you feeling full and supports healthy digestion. Plus, they’re full of antioxidants like vitamin E, which is great for your skin and overall wellness.

• Eggs: Eggs are a powerhouse of protein and contain all the essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair tissues. They’re also packed with B vitamins and choline, which support brain health and energy production. Plus, they’re super satisfying, so you’ll feel full for hours after eating them.

• Whole Grain Bread: Whole grain bread is full of fiber, which supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Unlike refined white bread, whole grain bread provides a steady source of energy, making it an ideal choice for breakfast. It also contains vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and magnesium, which are great for overall health.

Recipe and Instructions

Ingredients:

• 2 slices whole grain bread (or your preferred type)

• 1 ripe avocado

• 2 large eggs

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

• Fresh lemon juice (optional)

• Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by toasting the whole grain bread until it’s golden and crispy.

2. While the bread is toasting, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar (this helps the eggs stay together). Crack the eggs into small cups or bowls, then carefully slide them into the simmering water. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes for soft, runny yolks, or a bit longer if you prefer firmer yolks.

3. While the eggs are cooking, scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice (if using) for extra flavor.

4. Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado generously on each slice. Then, carefully remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place one egg on each piece of avocado toast.

5. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.

6. Enjoy your nutrient-packed, filling breakfast!
