This is a quick and easy breakfast that I've been enjoying for quite some time now and I only felt it right to share it with you. It can be easily adapted for one or many if you choose. And fast enough for a middle-of-the-week breakfast, but fancy enough to serve for Sunday brunch. I made this without meat, but you could definitely add in a slice of turkey, or a couple pieces of crispy bacon if you desired. I know Adam would.
Now, originally I styled this after the traditional eggs benedict with the layers, but I had never poached an egg before and honestly I was a little hesitant. So, I went about eating this with eggs prepared all different ways. I personally prefer over-easy fried eggs, but a sliced hard-boiled egg is nice and scrambled aren't bad (but not MY favorite in general). And finally I sucked it up and made poached eggs. And really? Not too bad in terms of preparation. I still have far to go with technique, but I will keep working on it.
California Eggs Benedict
1 avocado, cut in half, seed removed
1 Tbsp greek yogurt
1 tsp lemon juice
2 pieces of whole wheat bread, toasted and cut diagonally into two triangles per piece
4 thin slices sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices of tomato (I used Roma tomatoes so I actually used two slices per serving)
4 eggs, prepared how you like them
Salt and pepper to taste
Slice 1/2 of the avocado and set aside. Remove the other 1/2 of avocado and place in a small bowl and mash. Add in greek yogurt and lemon juice and mix until there are no more lumps. On a plate, layer 1 triangle of toast, followed by a slice of cheese, a slice of tomato, and one egg. Top with 1 Tbsp of the avocado sauce and a slice (or two) of avocado. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
