Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 eggs, 2 slices of whole grain bread, 1 avocado, 1 tomato, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will be used for cooking the eggs and toasting the bread.
- While the skillet is heating, slice the avocado and tomato. Set them aside for assembly later.
- In a small bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them together. Add the chili powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs, cooking until they are fully set but still moist, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the slices of whole grain bread. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the skillet and start assembling your sandwich. On one slice of bread, layer the scrambled eggs, followed by the sliced avocado and tomato.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the vegetables. If desired, you can return the sandwich to the skillet for a minute to melt the cheese slightly.
- Top with the second slice of toasted bread to complete the sandwich. Press down gently to help the layers stick together.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Mexican Style Breakfast Sandwich!
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe avocados and fresh tomatoes for the best flavor. If possible, choose organic ingredients to enhance the taste and nutritional value.
- Egg Cooking Technique: For perfectly scrambled eggs, cook them slowly over medium heat. This will help achieve a creamy texture instead of dry, rubbery eggs.
- Customize Your Spice: Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your spice tolerance. You can also add a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick!
- Cheese Choices: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Feta or pepper jack can add a unique twist to your sandwich.
- Make It a Meal: Pair your sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal that’s both satisfying and healthy.
- Toast to Perfection: For an extra crispy texture, consider brushing the bread with a little olive oil or butter before toasting it in the skillet.
- Meal Prep: If you're short on time during the week, prepare the avocado and tomato slices in advance and store them in the fridge. This way, you can quickly assemble your sandwich in the morning!
