Sunny Side Avocado Breakfast
Serves 1 scrumptious breakfast!
Ingredients:
1 whole grain, high fiber tortilla (we used a brand that has 7 grams of fiber)
1 egg (We used Eggland’s Best* because they have 4 times the vitamin D and 25% less saturated fat than other eggs)
2 ounces (a little less than 1/2 cup sliced) avocado
2 Tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
pepper, fresh cracked, to taste
salt, to taste
Directions
1. Spray a skillet with your favorite cooking oil in a spray jar.
2. Cook an egg sunny-side-up style.
3. Meanwhile use your fork to mash and mix together avocado, yogurt and lemon juice. You can use a blender if you prefer
4. When egg is ready, remove from the pan. Add the tortilla to the pan and allow it to toast for about a minute, flipping to get both sides toasted and golden.
5. Remove tortilla from pan and put on plate. Spread avocado mixture on top and the egg on top of that. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
Enjoy!
