Ingredients

2 slices bread (whole‑grain, sourdough or your favorite) Essenparadies
4 eggs
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or herbs of choice)
Salt, to taste
½ tsp chili flakes (optional — for heat)
1 slice cheddar cheese (or cheese of your preference) Essenparadies
½ ripe avocado, sliced Essenparadies
A bit of oil or butter for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Base

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, chopped red pepper, parsley, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Heat a small amount of oil or butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture.

Step 2: Toast the Bread in the Pan

Immediately place the bread slices on top of the egg mixture so they soak up some of the egg while the bottom cooks. Flip them over quickly so both sides absorb some egg and begin to toast lightly.

Step 3: Cook Eggs & Add Spices

Sprinkle chili flakes over the eggs if you like some spice. Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook through for about 3–4 minutes, until set.

Step 4: Add Cheese & Avocado

Once the eggs are set, carefully flip the slices so that the egg/cheese side is up. Place the cheddar cheese slice on one piece of toast and arrange avocado slices on top. Let it cook another minute or two until cheese melts gently.

Step 5: Fold or Assemble & Serve

Fold the toast over (if desired), press gently to seal, then remove from the pan. Serve immediately while warm and melty, perfect with a side of fresh salad or fruit.

Tips & Variations

Use a sturdy bread like sourdough or multigrain so it doesn’t get soggy.
Swap cheddar with mozzarella, feta, or any melting cheese you love.
Add extra veggies — spinach, tomato slices, mushrooms — for more nutrients and flavor.
For extra creaminess, mash the avocado slightly before slicing and layering.
To reduce carbs slightly, use halvah‑grain or low-carb bread.
Spice lovers: add crushed red pepper, chili powder, or a drizzle of hot sauce for a kick.
