My favorite breakfast, hands down is poached eggs on avocado toast made from this bread recipe. Simple, easy and fast, it contains all the nutrition of eggs from pasture-raised chickens and avocados and whole grains. Besides being delicious, the health benefits of avocados are all over the place lately and the difference between supermarket eggs and pastured eggs...well, besides the color of the yolks and the taste and buying local, there's this - From Mother Earth News - "New test results show that pastured eggs producers are kicking the commercial industry's derriere when it comes to vitamin D! Eggs from hens raised on pasture show 4 to 6 times as much vitamin D as typical supermarket eggs."
I eat eggs frequently. My cholesterol level is nowhere near too high and, with the old but new news coming out that dietary cholesterol isn't harmful (and never was), I plan to continue eating eggs from pastured chickens frequently. And to the local lady who raises the chicken we buy the eggs from - thank you!! May you continue to raise chickens for many years to come!
POACHED EGGS AND AVOCADO TOAST
This is so simple it really doesn't need a recipe but here it is anyway. Toast a piece of your favorite organic, unprocessed bread. Spread it with 1/2 of a ripe avocado and top with two (or one) poached eggs. Salt and pepper and breakfast is ready. Takes about 10 minutes max. Fast and nutritious and protein-packed. Using organic unprocessed bread, there should be no craving issues caused by processed commercially made bread that's full of chemicals, sugar and preservatives. Simple? Yes. Rustic? That, too. AND, you should be good to go until lunch.
