Avocado egg sandwich, healthy

This healthy avocado egg sandwich recipe is a fast, simple and healthy breakfast idea that saved our life last week!

What do you do when you’re so busy that you forget to eat? Besides starting to hate everyone around you?

Well, we don’t know. This has never happened to us. We never forget to eat. If there’s something we believe in in this world – it’s eating. But somehow we forgot to eat lunch one time last week. Yeah, we were disappointed in myself too. It’s literally the 6th time in our life we've missed a meal and definitely the first time that it is our fault.

But to answer the question what do you do when you realize at 6 pm you forgot to eat lunch – you make sandwiches. We made these avocado egg sandwiches.

How it comes together

These avocado sandwiches are simple, satisfying and can make you happy even if you’ve missed lunch. Or dinner. Or breakfast. They’re solid for any time of the day. Here’s how to make them:

• Make a chunky avocado spread: Use a bowl to mash avocado, the scallions, the olives, scallions, basil and lemon juice. Add some salt and pepper here if you feel you need to. We didn’t seem to need salt, because the olives made it salty enough, but we did add some black pepper.

• Toast two slices of your favorite bread. You can use any type of bread you want and love here – gluten free, low carb, whatever you desire. We used a whole grain bread with oats and chia.

• Spread the avocado mixture on both slices.
• Top one slice with an egg. You can either fry your egg like we did on both sides, boil it, or prepare it whichever way you like your eggs.

• Put the second slice of bread on top and you’re ready to eat!

Health Benefits

We're not gonna lie these aren’t the healthiest thing you can eat. We mean these are no green juice. But they’re quite healthy as well. So much better than pizza, which would’ve been our second choice. They’re high-fiber and high in vitamin C, thanks to that pepper we sneaked into the avocado spread. And they’re a great way to still get some vegetables into your body, without even eating a salad.
