Egg and Avocado Toasts



Oh my - this is one of my favorites! A great weekend breakfast or lunch, this open-face sandwich is a picture of contrasts - crunchy and smooth, warm and cool, green and red, well  - you get the idea. It all starts with 2 slices of Ezekiel Sesame Sprouted Wheat Bread, nicely toasted. This means watch the bread closely and - if you are toasting in an oven like me - turn the slices halfway through! While the bread is toasting, hit a non-stick skillet with a light coating of cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Crack 3 egg whites and up to 1 yolk into a bowl. Add a dash of cayenne pepper and a few very thin slices of red onion. Fork scramble and pour this mixture into the hot pan. While the eggs cook, spread one wedge of The Laughing Cow's Light Garlic & Herb Cheese on the warm toasts. Once the eggs are just set, place atop the cheesey toasts. Top with a chopped plum tomato, 1/3 of an avocado and some shredded romaine. Add a bit of fresh herb and enjoy immediately. Guess what? This filling and rather elegant dish is just over 400 calories. Yeah, remind me to tell you about that next time!
