Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total: 20 min
👨👩👧👦 Servings: 2 toasts
🛒 INGREDIENTS
- 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- ½ ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tbsp creamy cheese (like cream cheese or ricotta)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 small leek (white part only), sliced into thin rings
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- A pinch of paprika
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
👩🍳 PREPARATION
- Stir fry the leeks and toast: Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the leek rings and stir fry gently until they are soft and slightly golden. While the leeks are cooking, toast your bread slices until crisp and warm.
- Scramble the eggs: In the same pan (or a separate one with a little butter), whisk your eggs and pour them in. Stir gently over low heat to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the base: Spread the creamy cheese over each slice of warm toast. Add a generous layer of mashed avocado on top.
- Top and finish: Spoon the warm scrambled eggs over the avocado, then sprinkle the sautéed leeks on top. Finish with a dusting of paprika and a scattering of fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
💡 Vitalicious Tip:
For the best flavor, use a perfectly ripe avocado. You can tell it's ready when it yields to gentle pressure but isn't mushy. This ensures a creamy, smooth texture.
💚 NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
- A powerhouse of healthy fats: Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are wonderful for heart health and keeping you feeling full and satisfied for hours.
- High-quality protein: Eggs provide a complete source of protein, essential for muscle repair, sustained energy, and overall vitality.
- Rich in nutrients: This simple toast is packed with goodness, from the alliums in the leeks that support immunity to the fiber in the whole-grain bread.
🌸 VARIATION / OPTION
Instead of scrambled eggs, top your toast with a perfectly poached or fried egg. The runny yolk creates a delicious, rich sauce that pairs beautifully with the avocado.
🌞 SERVING SUGGESTION
