Ingredients
Avocado Mixture
- 1 large avocado
- 1 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
Toast & Toppings
- 4 slices of Ezekiel bread, toasted
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 Tbsp high quality balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley leaves
Eggs
- 1 tsp butter or ghee
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to your taste
Instructions
- Melt Butter or Ghee: Melt your butter or ghee in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Scramble the Eggs: Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Mash the Avocado: While the eggs cook, mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork, mixing in 1 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- Prepare Strawberry Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with the balsamic vinegar, letting the flavors meld.
- Assemble the Toasts: Evenly spread the mashed avocado over each slice of toasted Ezekiel bread. Top each with a portion of scrambled eggs, then spoon the strawberry and balsamic mixture on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the toasts with toasted pine nuts and chopped fresh basil or parsley leaves for added crunch and herbal aroma. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm and fresh ingredients.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe avocado for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Choose high-quality balsamic vinegar to enhance the sweetness of the strawberries without overpowering the toast.
- To toast pine nuts, lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Feel free to swap basil for parsley depending on your preferred herb flavor.
- For a vegan version, omit the eggs and butter/ghee, and add a plant-based scramble alternative if desired.
