This creative breakfast is a delicious way to get your morning started. You’ll get a dose of protein from the egg (or, if you’d like, you can swap for egg whites) and healthy fat from the avocado. And the tomatoes add a fun pop of color. Enjoy it with a side of fruit and then get ready to take on the day!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 large red tomato, sliced to about ¼-inch thickness
  • 1 large yellow tomato, sliced to about ¼-inch thickness
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • ½ avocado, sliced and divided
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, traditional or smoked, divided

Instructions
 

  • Lay tomatoes on a sheet tray and cook under the broiler until browned. (Or cook in a skillet coated with oil spray on high heat. Sear on one side until lightly browned; flip and repeat. A grill works well, too.)
  • After cooling, lightly salt tomatoes and stack in two piles, alternating red and yellow colors.
  • Place ¼ of the avocado slices on top of each tomato stack.
  • Poach the eggs (or egg whites) and place each on top of the tomato-avocado stacks and finish each with a teaspoon drizzle of oil and small sprinkling of salt. (Alternatively, can enjoy a sunny side egg or sliced hard-boiled egg in place of poached.) Serve at room temperature.
