Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a Healthy Green Twist: Festive Avocado Toast Recipe

St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect excuse to add some extra green to your plate! This festive avocado toast recipe is easy, nutritious, and packed with ingredients that support heart health. Here’s how to make this delicious green breakfast or snack.

Why it’s good for you:

• Avocado is rich in fiber, which supports digestion, helps manage blood sugar, and can aid in weight management.
• Eggs are a great source of protein, providing around 12 grams in just two eggs, helping to keep you energized for the day.
• Whole wheat toast is high in fiber, which can help with digestion, regulate blood sugar, and lower the risk of heart disease.

Instructions:

1. Start with the Pepper “Clovers” Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Slice your green bell pepper into rings, which resemble four-leaf clovers—perfect for St. Patrick’s Day! Place the rings in the skillet.
2. Add the Eggs Crack one egg into each bell pepper ring. Let them cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, just until the whites are set and fully cooked.
3. Prep the Avocado Toast While the eggs cook, spread a ripe avocado over a piece of toasted bread.
4. Assemble the Toast When the eggs are ready, carefully place each bell pepper and egg ring on top of the avocado toast.
5. Finish with Seasoning Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and, if you like, a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

And that’s it—a festive, heart-healthy avocado toast to enjoy this St. Patrick’s Day. Celebrate with a little extra green on your plate, and enjoy a nutritious start to your day.
