Egg Caprese Toast

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

4 slices bread, toasted

1 cup arugula

8 egg whites

4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced and cut into pieces, to fit the bread

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

A few basil leaves, roughly chopped

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Directions

Cut the avocados in half, remove pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.

Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, adjust amounts to taste.

Mash the ingredients together, keeping the texture slightly chunky.

Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto toasted bread slices.

Top each slice with arugula, 2 egg whites, fresh mozzarella slices, tomatoes, and basil.

Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

Avocado toast can get very creative, it doesn't have to be seen as high calorie and high fat if it's topped with vegetable and protein.
