Broccoli rabe egg toast
To start, gather your ingredients. You will need one slice of bread per person, one egg per person, and a handful of broccoli rabe leaves. If you can’t find broccoli rabe, you can substitute with another leafy green vegetable like spinach or kale.
Next, heat a pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter. Once the pan is hot, add the eggs and cook them to your liking. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in the oven or toaster until they are crispy.
Once the eggs and toast are ready, begin assembling your breakfast sandwiches. Start by spreading some soft butter on each slice of toast, then top with a cooked egg and a few leaves of broccoli rabe. You can also add other toppings like cheese or avocado if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Breakfast tortilla
A tortilla makes a great breakfast because it is easy to make and you can put anything you want inside of it. You can have a healthy breakfast tortilla by adding some egg, cheese, ham, and spinach leaves. If you are looking for something a little sweeter, you could add some bananas or berries. Tortillas are also a good option if you are trying to avoid bread because they are low in carbohydrates.
