Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 4 Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
Add the baby spinach leaves and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice for a quick avocado spread.
Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted bread slices.
Plate the avocado toasts and top them with the sautéed vegetables. Place the eggs on the side or on top of the veggies.
Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome Vegie Brekkie!
