Oh hey there! Morning (or err afternoon/evening depending on what time you’ve sat down to read), let’s have a chat today about the most important meal of the day.
I KNOW, you’ve been hearing this for your entire life. Why do need you another person to tell you that it’s so incredibly important to start the day with a good meal? Because it is, that’s why and because you can make that meal pretty darn awesome.
I get it, because it is isn’t a very valid argument. How about because a protein packed breakfast not only is healthy but also gives you the energy to be productive throughout the day? How about making a delicious breakfast at home saves you time and money? Yes it does, this avocado toast might look fancy but I promise it’s easy to put together and it’s a lot cheaper than that coffee and pastry you buy on a regular basis.
I also don’t want to hear the argument about not having time in the morning to make breakfast. I’m a busy person, I work full-time, I run a blog, I’m opening a bake shop, I’m a wife, I’m a mother to a very spoiled pug, I work out to keep myself fit and healthy and I eat breakfast every single morning. There is a reason why I’ve presented two options on the plate here.
You’ve got option A) weekday breakfast: toast your bread, cut up your avocado, tomatoes and sprinkle it with the feta. Then there is option B) weekend breakfast: top option A with that poached egg.
Avocados and eggs are packed full of protein, healthy fats and vitamins. Plus it just tastes good!
American Family Insurance is continuing with their Choose Dreams campaign today and we are discussing healthy eating on a budget and recipes for performance.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a family of two and a pug like me or a family of 4; the first steps to saving money and eating healthy is cooking at home. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast will keep you away from the office vending machine and will fuel you with energy for a jam packed day.

What a gorgeous breakfast, Susan!!! I was thrilled to finally meet you in person! You are as warm and lovely as I imagined…and hope we can spend a LOT more time together at the next conference!! xo
My new favorite healthy breakfast is avocado’s, eggs and tomatoes on toast but I never thought about pouching the egg, LOVE THIS!
Love the breakfast idea and will add it to our menu minus the feta 🙂 Yummy!
Poached eggs are my jam. I’m loving this recipe. Pinned!
My kind of breakfast!
Now THIS is my kind of breakfast!
What a breakfast! This looks so wonderful, I bet my kids would love it too!
Incredibly delicious! Craving a plate of this right now!
I love everything about this dish. It is perfection. It is my breakfast heaven. SO SO GOOD!
Now that’s a PERFECT poached egg! What’s your trick? Swirl the water? Fresh eggs? Both? I have good luck with it sometimes, other times it’s a hot mess. This is such a colorful and healthful breakfast. Who could resist this?
The trick is both and lots of luck. I also put vinegar in the water. Although to be honest usually it’s only the first, maybe the second one that comes out so nice. Anything after that the whites are all over the place. And yes I poach my eggs one at a time.
Ohhh, see…that’s my problem. If I do one egg, it turns out great. But when I’m making breakfast/dinner for the two of us, I’m way too impatient to do that. So I try to do 4 at a time, and they all turn out like crap. Damn patience, why does it have to be a virtue?
Sous Chef would adore this. It looks mouthwatering delicious.
