Hey! What are you doing for breakfast? Let's have breakfast together this morning! 🍳 So grab your coffee and let's share a meal - I'm serving up Avocado Toast!
Ok, it would be tough to drop everything you're doing to fly to Fresno for breakfast right? But after seeing this, you might want to!
So speaking of toasting bread, the first time I made avocado toast I had an issue with the toast. I thought, rather than use the toaster, I will put it under the broiler. So I turned on the broiler. When it was completely heated up tucked the bread underneath it....
And promptly forgot I had put bread under the broiler. I kid you not it was charcoal by the time I remembered it.
I did not take a picture of it. I'm pretty sure you know what burned bread looks like. And taking stylish pictures of burnt toast didn't seem to make sense either. Seriously?? oops! You know if burnt toast is the worst thing that happened that day, that's pretty good, right?
Ok back to this yummy sandwich - avocado toast is really quite the thing right now! I'm not jumping on the bandwagon because it's trendy - I'm sharing this recipe with you because it is AMAZING!
Let me show you how simple it is!

Totally love avocado toast for breakfast but the addition of the prosciutto is amazing! I will have to start poaching my eggs like my hubby likes again. If I'm feeling a little lazy I might just use a hard boiled egg. Can't wait!!

That would work too Jennifer! If you used a hard boiled egg, it would be great to slap another slice of bread on top, super yummy!!!
