Breakfast sandwiches seem like a major undertaking, but the only real effort involved here is the two minutes you spend scrambling the eggs.

- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt ( to taste )
- Pepper ( to taste )
- 1 whole-wheat English muffin / 2 Slices of whole-wheat bread, split and toasted
- 1 tomato, sliced
Method
- In a bowl, beat eggs. Add feta, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil. Add basil and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add egg-feta mixture and cook, stirring constantly until eggs are set but still slightly runny, about 1 minute.
- Spoon over muffin halves / bread and top with tomato slices.

Almond Butter Mug Cake
All you need to make this cute little cake is almond butter, eggs, sugar, and a pinch of baking soda. Top with some juicy berries or a sliced banana for some extra fiber and flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tbsp creamy almond butter
- 1 large egg
- 3 tsp granulated white sugar
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
Method
- Combine all ingredients into an oversized microwave-safe mug. This cake does rise quite a bit, so make sure your mug is at least 12 oz.
- Mix with a small whisk until batter is completely smooth. Make sure you whisk until all the egg has fully been mixed in, otherwise it won’t bake properly. You should have an even, brown batter. It really helps if you are using a whisk rather than a fork.
- Microwave for about 1 minute 20 seconds. Let cake cool a few minutes before eating. If desired, you can also top with powdered sugar or syrup.
Fried Egg and Avocado Toast

Ingredients
- 2 slices bread any kind
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 avocado pitted, scooped, and mashed into a small bowl
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Place bread into toaster and toast until it reaches your desired level. While bread is toasting, add butter into a medium skillet and melt over medium heat.
- Crack eggs into skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until whites are set but yolk is still runny.
- Divide mashed avocado between two pieces of toast and spread in an even layer. Top each slice with a fried egg, followed by tomatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. So Yum!
