This is a simple recipe that I always kept thinking back-n-forth if it was worth sharing it here in my blog, but after serving this dish to my friends I realized that not many know about this unique flavor combination. I would love to call this breakfast a lazy day fix up but with no compromises on the taste front.

Eggs and Avocado on a toast was a combination we loved for a very long time, but ever since we got hooked with the taste of pesto, we’ve been frequently switching avocadoes with pesto. That being said, breakfast with eggs weren’t that common in our house until we recently upgraded to this recipe with the addition of mushrooms, and it has been on a roll ever since!

It’s a protein rich breakfast which is so filling and satisfying with all the different taste combinations. The aroma and the flavor of basil pesto combined with the goodness of egg, and the spiciness from the chili oil – it’s a flavor explosion from the first bite.

Let’s check out the various options to customize this recipe per your choice:

1. Veggies – Mushrooms and Spinach are my go-to additions for this recipe but you can opt for your favorite veggies.
2. Pesto – You can use homemade pesto which is always the best, but for a quick fixup storebought pesto would work too.
3. Chili oil – I usually prefer Trader Joe’s Crunchy Chili Onion Oil, but you can use homemade or any other brand of your choice.
4. Egg – You can cook it according to your likeness; fried/scrambled/runny/poached/boiled, anything works like a charm, I prefer fried egg with a runny yolk!
5. Open Toast or Sandwich – I love to serve this recipe as an open toast with one slice of bread but it’s a personal preference. You can use 2 slices of bread to make it as a sandwich which also works great.

This recipe is perfect as a breakfast, brunch or dinner – it is incredibly good and enjoyable at all times of the day!!

Enjoy, Happy Cooking…!

Rain, Rain, Rain… it’s been raining crazy for the last two weeks and I just feel like crawling under my blanket, stay warm n cozy, and  sleep a lot more. Do you guys feel the same on rainy days? And when you wake up, you wish to have a hot piping cup of coffee and a warm breakfast, ready on the table… I would love to have a toast with sides for breakfast!

My regular breakfast menu is mostly of Indian dishes; either some sort of a savory crepe, or steamed rice/wheat cakes. Although they are rich and healthy, they are not a good choice for a lazy morning. Smoothies and cereals are our go-to options for a quick breakfast, even eggs; my husband does eggs many ways and they turn out pretty good always. He loves eggs and has a couple of tricks up his sleeve to quickly cook eggs, be it poached, hard boiled, fried, or even microwaved!! So when it comes to any egg based recipes I am experimenting with, I leave the eggs with him; Of course I want them to look perfect in my recipe photos, and I know that he being a perfectionist does a wonderful job with the cooking and presentation!!

So this recipe is yummy and simple, there is hardly any recipe to speak about. All you need are:

• Sliced bread – toasted, any variety would work.
• Eggs – poached or fried, but keep the yolks runny.
• Avocadoes – sliced.
• Seasoning – salt and pepper.

This warm n crunchy toast is a perfect dish for any meal of the day and you can try out wide varieties of it with different toppings of your choice.

Enjoy, Happy Cooking!!!
