Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 slice whole grain or sprouted bread Choose your favorite type of bread.
  • 1 large egg Can be substituted with tofu or chickpea flour for a vegan option.
  • 1 slice cheese Optional ingredient.
  • 1 handful spinach or arugula Fresh greens add vitamins.
  • 1 small avocado, sliced Provides healthy fats.
  • to taste salt and pepper Season according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast a slice of whole grain or sprouted bread to your desired crispness.
  2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, crack the egg and let it sizzle until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny, approximately 3-4 minutes. For a vegan option, sauté chickpea flour or tofu until golden.
  3. If using cheese, place it on top of the egg during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
  4. Layer the cooked egg or substitute, fresh spinach or arugula, and avocado slices on the toasted bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Top with another slice of toasted bread and gently press to secure the fillings.
  6. Cut the sandwich in half and enjoy it hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, experiment with different greens or add herbs. Avoid making the sandwich soggy by adding avocado just before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.
