- 2 Pasture Raised Eggs
- 1/4 c Feta Cheese
- 1 c Fresh Spinach
- 1/2 Ripe Avocado Slices
- Sea Salt + Pepper To Taste
- Hot Sauce Optional
Toast the bread: Preheat your toaster to your desired level of golden brown. Toast the two slices of Dave's Killer Bread.
Scramble the eggs: In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt a pat of butter or spray with cooking spray (optional). Crack the eggs into the pan and gently scramble them until cooked through, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of toasted bread on a plate. Top with half of the scrambled eggs, then sprinkle with half of the crumbled feta cheese. Add a layer of fresh spinach.
Avocado time: Top with half of the sliced avocado. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Close the deal: Finish with the remaining toasted bread slice, feta cheese, and scrambled eggs.
Enjoy! Cut the sandwich in half for easier handling and savor the delicious combination of fluffy eggs, creamy feta, fresh spinach, and avocado on the healthy Dave's Killer Bread.
Tips:
- For more protein flavor, add cottage cheese to the scrambled eggs before cooking.
- Want it spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or your favorite hot sauce.
- Experiment with adding different vegetables like roasted peppers, sautéed onions, or sliced tomatoes.
- If you prefer a warm avocado, briefly toast it in the pan before adding it to the sandwich.
- This recipe is easily customizable, so feel free to adjust the ingredients and quantities to your preferences.
Storage Savvy:
- Refrigerate joy: Assembled sandwiches store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven before enjoying.
- Avocado preservation: To prevent browning, drizzle sliced avocado with lemon juice or store them submerged in water with a pit until use.
Dietary Adaptations:
- Vegan delight: Use tofu scramble or plant-based protein sources like black beans or tempeh for a vegan option.
- Dairy-free fun: Opt for dairy-free cheese alternatives or omit cheese altogether for a lactose-free version.
- Gluten-free options: Choose your favorite gluten-free bread for a celiac-friendly twist.
Presentation Panache:
- Cut it up!: Slice your sandwich diagonally or in half for easier handling and a more visually appealing presentation.
- Garnish magic: Sprinkle fresh herbs like cilantro, chives, or microgreens for an extra pop of color and flavor.
- Drizzle delight: Add a final touch with a drizzle of sriracha mayo, pesto, or your favorite hot sauce for an extra flavor kick.
Remember, this recipe is just a starting point! Experiment with different ingredients, flavors, and presentation styles to create your own breakfast sandwich masterpiece. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the delicious and nutritious way to fuel your mornings!
