Let Mom linger over this dish from Gelson’s Registered Dietitian Jessica Siegel. It’s made with California Avocados – revered for their smooth, creamy texture and sublime taste.

The key to this recipe is using excellent quality ingredients, especially ripe avocados and heirloom tomatoes.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon Napa Valley organic olive oil
• 2 Gelson’s Finest organic omega 3 eggs
• pinch Le Saunier de Camargue fleur de sel sea salt
• pinch garlic powder
• 1 slice Food for Life Ezekiel 4:9 bread (orange bag)
• 1/4 large ripe but firm avocado
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• pinch black pepper
• pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 leaf butter lettuce, large part of rib removed, leaf torn in half
• 2 thin slices ripe heirloom tomato

Preparation:

1. Heat oil in your smallest skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Crack in both eggs so that their yolks are close together (you will put both eggs on one slice of toast).
3. Sprinkle with a pinch each salt and garlic powder.
4. While eggs are cooking to desired doneness, toast the bread.
5. Coarsely mash the avocado with lemon juice and spread on top of the toast.
6. Season with a pinch each black pepper and red pepper flakes.
7. Top with lettuce and tomato slices.
8. When eggs are cooked, place them on top of the tomato slices.
9. Enjoy immediately with a knife and fork.
