Guacamole for Breakfast?!

      My sister Shauna shared with me that she often makes this for breakfast (she loves to cook as well so we're always talking about food....always) and we thought it is a perfect college-kid friendly recipe, and I've explained before my family's intense love for guacamole. I'd say it's pretty much worth it's weight in gold and yes it is totally appropriate for all meals of the day....breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, supper! (If you aren't a Lord of the Rings fan, A. you should be and B. you might not be familiar with hobbit meal times)


Hahaha they make me laugh, such great characters. And wow I'm so easily distracted - I just went off on a youtube spree of Lord of the Rings movie scenes....but back to the important stuff, food... YES.


         It's quick, filling and tasty, such a perfect breakfast. Creamy, cheesy, gooey deliciousness with a spicy kick atop a crisp piece of toast. Eat it with a fork or eat it with your hands, top it with hot sauce and add some ham or bacon!


        Or take some leftover steak and put it all in an english muffin! (We used some pretty darn expensive leftover ribeyes so it was insanely delicious) There are tons of options other than just traditional bacon egg and cheese, but with the cheap college kid budget in mind, we can just stick to the basics. But here's just a little tease....


      Here's the most basic recipe, but feel free to add any meat or veggies!

A tip - it is veryyyy good with a fresh homemade bread, but I have made it plenty of times with regular whole wheat toast. Still super yummy :)


Open Faced Egg and Guacamole Sandwich (2)
Ingredients:
2 pieces of whole wheat toast
1 ripe avocado
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper-to taste
hot sauce to-taste (optional)
2 eggs
small handful cheddar cheese (preferably mexican style)

Directions:
Cut avocado and remove pit. Scoop out insides into a small bowl and mash with lemon juice, hot sauce and seasonings. Fry egg in pan over medium heat and top with cheese to let melt. Spread guacamole on toast and top with egg. (Keep the yolk runny! Thats the best part!)

  1. Eggs and guacamole/avocado are one of my favorite combinations. I recently made an egg sandwich with guacamole and bacon, soo good!
