~ T.E.A. breakfast sandwich ~

i absolutely love breakfast and lately.. i've been craiving the breakfast croissant sandwich my mom would make me... buttery costco croissant with a slice of ham and a slice of muenster cheese ...thrown into the toaster oven until the cheese was nice and stringy/melty with the croissant slightly toasted.... *droool*

now with my dairy allergy .. rather casein allergy.. i can't really have the croissant or the cheese... sad face.. i've instead made a healthier breakfast sandwich...

instead of a croissant.. i've used organic healthy whole grain bread bought from the local farmers market.. for the ham i've substituted for herbed turkey.. that is all natural and does not contain casein (yes... deli meats contain casein which studies state correlates to cancer growth).. organic egg..

with just the egg, turkey and bread.. that makes for a rather dry sandwich... so i needed something that was creamy and spreadable... and voila! i used organic avocado!! brilliant i must say so myself... with a ripe haas avocado.. there are so many applications to this lovely fruit... by smearing it on both of my toast.. it acted as a "glue" to keeping my egg and turkey in place..

this sandwich has become one of my go to breakfast options as it is very filling... packed with protein... barely any fat and full of nutrients for you to get the day started

recipe (yields 1 serving)

ingredients:
* 2 slices of organic whole grain bread (or any sliced bread you have on hand)
* 1 organic egg
* 1/2 organic ripe avocado
* 2-3 slices of your favorite turkey

hardware:
* sautee pan
* toaster/oven

steps:
1) toast your bread
2) cook your egg as you like them (i like my fried.. with a bit of a running yolk)
        > IMPORTANT: do not forget to season your egg! i like to put salt.. pepper.. garlic powder..
3) cook your turkey.. you dont have to do this step but i find that it tastes better with the turkey warm and the edges a bit crispy.. gives it texture
4) slide your avocado into strips and mash it up.. then smear it onto 1 side of each slice of bread
5) assemble... toast with avocado smear.. egg.. turkey toast with avocado smear
        > if you must have mayo in your sandwiches.. it is really easy to make an avocado mayo spread..
        > simply mix your avocado smear with a tablespoon of mayo and there you have it.. avocado mayo
6) serve with your favorite breakfast beverage.. eat and enjoy!

cheers!
