Avocado is truly a celebrated fruit for most everyone and oh the endless ways to use them. Here is a remake on the proverbial McMuffin. (You don't eat as McDonald's do you? That’s not food!) Once you’ve had ‘real food’ as the mainstay of your diet, there is zero temptation to eat foods like that, ever. No fear missing out too, for this version of a McMuffin rocks, and you can customize it to suit your taste-buds. This is the fully loaded version. Best for a morning off brunch or lunch. Simplify as needed.
INGREDIENTS:
- Organic English muffins, toasted (Find in the freezer section of your grocers-Gluten-free bread is an option)
- Basil pesto, ideally dairy free and/or your favorite hummus or cashew cheese - bought or home-made
- Thin slices avocado or avocado mashed with a little lemon and sea salt
- Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped or sun-dried tomato pesto
- Fresh tomato slices
- Raw hemp seeds or toasted pine nuts
- Sea salt, cayenne, black pepper, nutritional yeast, fresh basil leaves, micro-greens...
DIRECTIONS:
- Toast your muffins. I love doing this in a cast iron grill plan.
- Spread pesto and/or hummus and cheese evenly on each half of the muffin.
- Top one half with avocado slices, 1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, a tomato slice, basil leaves, hemp seeds or pine nuts and season as desired.
- Press muffin halves together or enjoy open-faced and dive in or wrap in parchment paper for a great, to-go breakfast.
TERI’S TIPS:
- Not an avocado fan? Sub in tomatoes, raw or sautéed mushrooms or roasted eggplant, zucchini or peppers.
- Add slivered greens such as arugula (a fave addition)
- Make this open faced and garnish as above adding a sassy drizzle of balsamic reduction
- Add additional protein with cooked or canned beans of your choice scattered over the pesto
