"Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?"
- Leslie Knope (Parks and Rec)
I agree, wholeheartedly, with Leslie Knope (aka my spirit animal). Breakfast foods are comforting, delicious and, typically, the easiest to make. But you can't live off bacon and waffles alone, so on occasion we need to add some vegetables to the equation. This quick breakfast takes about 5 minutes to put together and makes for a satisfying, filling meal.
What You Need to Serve 2:
- 2 eggs.
- 1 avocado.
- 2 pieces of your favorite bread (I used whole wheat).
- 1 medium tomato, sliced.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
What To Do:
- Bring a quart of water to boil and turn down to a rolling simmer.
- Use a whisk to stir the water, this will keep the egg white wrapped around the egg yolk, carefully drop the eggs (1 at a time) into the swirling water and allow to cook through for approximately 3 minutes. Do not allow the water to boil.
- Meanwhile, toast your bread, spread half an avocado on each (sliced or mashed, whatever floats your boat) and arrange the tomatoes.
- Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon, allow the water to drain off and place on top of the fully assembled sandwich.
- Top with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
