Egg in Wheat Toast: an easy and nutritious breakfast

Being back home in Texas always makes me think of my favorite recipes that my mom used to cook up back in the day. One in particular came to mind while at the grocery store yesterday; before heading out I was sure to pick up some whole wheat bread and eggs!

This is a crazy-easy breakfast dish to whip up, which makes it awesome for hectic mornings when you don't have much time to cook and eat before heading out the door. All that is needed for this recipe is some cooking spray (I use olive oil spray), a slice of whole wheat bread, and an egg. This is a great breakfast option since it provides you with protein and whole-grains to get your metabolism running, give you energy, and help to keep you feeling full throughout the morning. Pair with a side of berries for a dose of antioxidants and some extra fiber and you've got yourself a well-rounded breakfast!


To make this dish, cut a small hole in the center of the slice of bread, lightly coat your pan with cooking spray, and turn the stove to medium heat. Place the bread in the pan and crack an egg, pouring its contents into the bread's center—   including the yolk. The yolk is full of vitamins and nutrients, so when eaten in moderation it can be very healthy for you! The recommended amount is no more than 300 mg per day due to the high cholesterol content, and a medium size egg contains about 180 mg, putting you under the daily limit.



Let the bread and egg sit until the egg is cooked into the bread enough to be flipped over. Then let the other side sit; when the egg-white on that side is no longer liquid, transfer to a plate and eat up!
