Ingredients

1 slice sourdough bread, cut in half

2 large eggs and 2 large egg white scrambled

2-4 slices of tomato

1/2 small haas avocado

Other Ingredients

  • 2 slices turkey bacon 
  • ½ tablespoon low fat cream cheese
  • Green onion (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1:

Spray non stick pan(s) with Canola Oil Cooking Spray. Set on medium-medium high heat.                                                        

Note: If you have 2  pans you can use 1 for eggs and 1 for the turkey bacon.

Step 2:

Cook the turkey bacon to your liking. Once cooked, place over on paper towel to remove any extra oil. 

Step 3:

In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and egg white. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the whisked eggs in non-stick pan and scramble to preferred texture.

Step 4:

While eggs are cooking, cut the sourdough bread in half and place in the toaster for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5:

Spread the cream cheese and avocado on the each slice of the sourdough bread. You can place both on 1 slice or mix and match, your choice!

Step 6:

On one slice (or each if you want it open faced), place the turkey bacon and eggs. Top with the sliced tomatoes and green onion. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks:

  • If scrambled eggs aren’t your thing, you can cook over easy or over hard. In this case, only use 2 eggs!
  • Although this meal appears high in fat, majority is the unsaturated fatty acids found in the avocado which is very beneficial for you overall heart health.
  • If you want to reduce fat more, feel free to use only 1 egg yolk and 2 egg whites. We do recommend using at least 1 full egg to get the full nutritional benefit of eggs. 
  • If limiting protein due to kidney restrictions, use only 1 egg!
  • Use 100% whole grain bread to increase fiber content.
