You can whip this one up in 5 minutes. So delicious, so simple, and healthy. So let’s get into it, shall we? 







Microgreens

So why did I choose to top this with microgreens? Let's start first with, what are microgreens? Microgreens are baby leaves of vegetables or herbs. Nutritional analysis of twenty-five commercially available microgreens found they did have significantly higher nutrient densities. For example, red cabbage microgreens have a sixfold higher vitamin C concentration than mature red cabbage and nearly seventy times the vitamin K. You have probably seen microgreens used as a pretty pop of colors on dishes at restaurants, but chefs typically use just as a sprinkle of microgreens. In this recipe, I don’t hold back, I’m trying to rack up the nutrients when I start my day. I found a photo of an article cited below that shows how microgreens are protective against diabetes, chronic kidney disorder, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, obesity, and iron deficiency.

Smashed Avocado Egg Breakfast - Recipe 

Serving Size: 1 breakfast meal





Ingredients: 

  • 2 pieces bread of your choice, I chose a 15-grain bread 

  • Avocado 

  • Lime 

  • Red onion 

  • Trader Joe’s Crunchy chili onion sauce 

  • Fresh ground pepper 

  • 2 eggs 

  • Microgreens 


Directions:

  1. Cut VERY thinly 2 slices of red onion 

    1. If it's not super thin, the fresh red onion might seem overpowering 

  2. Smash about ½ of the avocado, nothing too fancy, I did it would a fork

  3. Place two eggs on a coated pan heated to medium heat. I fried my eggs, but this is definitely where you can personalize (egg whites, over easy, you do you)

  4. While the eggs are cooking, toast your bread 

  5. Then we’re ready to assemble, I recommend doing this in the following order:  

    1. Bread

    2. Smashed avocado 

    3. Squeeze some fresh lime juice onto the smashed avocado 

    4. Spread crunchy chili onion sauce* 

    5. Eggs 

    6. Freshly cracked pepper 

    7. Slices of red onion 

    8. Top with microgreens

Viola! Eat and enjoy 


*I recommend doing a taste test of the chunky chili onion sauce. I’m very obsessed with it, so I smother my bread with it. But if you think it’s too spicy, adjust accordingly. 

Or if you don't have this sauce, you can definitely substitute it with a spicy mayo or just hot sauce of your choice.
