Avocado Breakfast

Avocado Breakfast

OK, Faye, I know you don't like avocado, so you can skip this one, but Jeanie will love it.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tsp. butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices toasted white bread other than normal - like sourdough or we use Grandma's Perfect White by Heartland
  • Dijon mustard - or a dark sweet/sour mustard
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
  1. Melt butter, add the egg whites - I use an egg mold
  2. Once egg whites are firm, add yellows to top of them
  3. Spread a small amount of mustard over each piece of bread
  4. Arrange the avocado slices over the mustard
  5. Top the avocado with one eggs
  6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the eggs

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp. ground mustard
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 8 slices firm white bread cubed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
  1. Cook ground beef and onion until done
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard, salt and pepper
  3. Stir in the bread cubes a little at a time
  4. Add cheese and ground beef and mix
  5. Pour into 13x9 inch baking dish
