Garlic & Herb Cheesy Eggs with Avocado Toast


Breakfast is a time of the day when I really like to eat something filling and savory. This recipe is just that! It makes the perfect recipe for your brunch or lunch table for entertaining as well! With the garlic and herb flavors from the spreadable cheese paired with the creamy avocado and crunchy toast it is just perfection. This is also a great transitional recipe if you are re-starting a low carb lifestyle and slowly lowering your carbs. You can also customize this recipe with the cheese flavor you use, the toast brand, and how much avocado you prefer. 

Garlic and Herb Cheesy Eggs & Avocado Toast- Serves 1
1 egg
1 tsp heavy cream
1 Tbsp garlic & herb cheese spread, I use Alouette Brand or Boursin Brand
1/2 avocado
1 slice of your favorite toast, I use Daves Killer Bread (thin sliced)
salt
pepper
crushed red pepper flake (optional)
1/2 tbsp butter

Whisk together the egg, heavy cream and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small pan melt the butter and scramble the eggs to your liking. Then mix in the cheese spread and allow to warm up. Mix in the cheese with your eggs as it warms up.
Remove from heat.
Smear the avocado on top of your toast and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
Top with your egg mixture and ENJOY!

Culinary Gift Guide 2019


Happy December!
Whether you need a gift for a foodie, recipe creator, or culinary lover in your life OR you have someone who needs some joy sparked into their kitchen I have a few gifts that will be sure to help you out with anyone on your list! I even included a few smaller gifts that I absolutely love in case you need a white elephant, secret Santa, or stocking stuffer. 

Ninja Coffee Bar!
I use this baby every day. There are SO many functions but not too many where I get overwhelmed and dont need or use them. I love making pots or cups of hot coffee or a travel iced coffee for the road. The east of setting the timer as well as cleaning this coffee maker make it #1 on my list


Cuisinart Food Processor
This food processor is amazing. It is super quiet, really does the job too. No big chunks of unpulsed food is ever left. This is one product where I think you should splurge and get one GOOD food processor. I cant recommend this one enough. All the parts can also be cleaned in the dishwasher and it has enough functions to be useful and not so many that it becomes confusing. 

Emulsion Blender
Perfect gift for anyone who doesn't have one! I use this ALL the time. It is so much easier to blend sauces in the pan they were cooked in rather than having to transfer (and clean!) a blender. 
I also dont think you need to spend the big bucks on one of these. The one I have works perfectly and I love it!



Air Fryer

I use my air fryer every day- sometimes multiple times per day! Its so much quicker and easier than preheating and waiting for the oven. The effortless way it crisps up food is almost magical. I have a 5qt and a 7qt and I would recommend both! 


Non Stick Pans
If you haven't upgraded your nonstick pans in a few year treat yo self! I recently upgraded and I'm mad I didn't do it sooner. Pots and pans just dont last like they should. I say, buy them on sale and upgrade them when you need to. No reason to sacrifice your dishes because your pans are not up to par anymore. 


Hand Held Spiralizer
Obsessed is not a strong enough word. The price point cannot be beat and this is another gadget you can throw right in the dishwasher. If this isn't stuffed into some stockings on your list, it definitely should be!


Veggie Peeler
This peeler is a must have! It might sound like overkill, I already have peeler and it works just fine.... but does really though? Does your hand cramp while using it? Can it peel tough items like squashes? 
If you need an upgrade I love this one and cant recommend it nearly enough!


Sil Pat - nonstick mat
This mat is like magic! Everyone should have at least one in their kitchen! I use this for cookies, vegetables, breakfast bombs, pizza bites... anything I want to bake on a baking sheet and that I dont want to stick. Super easy to clean and SO useful!


Spice Jars

Love LOVE these jars. I've had them for years now and love how they not only organize my spices but also how well they keep them fresh. They also have a magnet so you can stick them to your fridge too!
