Toast To A Better Morning With Eggs And Avocados
Avocado, sweet pickled onions and a luscious poached egg on toast make for a perfect breakfast.
There’s no better way to start off your morning than with avocado toast for breakfast. California avocados are your nutrition powerhouse breakfast choice, with nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and 50 calories per serving (1/5 of a medium avocado).
The sky is the lip-smacking limit for avocado toast, with endless mouthwatering recipes to surprise and delight each and every morning. For quick and simply delicious, try whole wheat bread topped with mashed avocado and a pinch of salt. For an extra special breakfast in bed, top with your favorite fresh ingredients and add eggs or prosciutto.
