Anyone feel the same way…? Well, instead of running as fast as you can from the dreadful approach of Monday, wake up and get excited to make quick, easy breakfasts that will keep you energized and awake all day long. It’s midterms season here at UCLA, so breakfast is especially important to get you through those tests and studying all day long. As college students, we may not have that much time, effort, or money to go out and make or buy an elaborate breakfast every morning. So, toast your breakfast confusion with these simple, affordable, and quick ideas. All you need are 3 ingredients…
1. TOAST, AVOCADO, AND EGGS ANY STYLE.
Spread 1/4 avocado onto any kind of toasted bread. Then, cook two eggs any style and add it on top of the avocado.
2. TOAST, PEANUT BUTTER, AND SLICED BANANAS.
Spread 2 TBS peanut butter onto toast and top with sliced bananas.
3. TOAST, CINNAMON, AND STRAWBERRIES
Sprinkle cinnamon (and sugar!) onto warm toast so it melts, then top with sliced strawberries. You can always add peanut butter too!
4. TOAST, SPINACH, FETA, FRIED EGG
For a more savory option, try spinach (or kale), sprinkled with feta and a fried egg on top.
5. TOAST, GOAT CHEESE, EGG, SALSA
For a Mexican styled breakfast, spread goat cheese on toast, then top with your favorite salsa and an egg. Delicious! (Adding avocado is also a nice finish.)
5. PEAR, RICOTTA, AND HONEY
One of my faves… spread ricotta cheese all over toast. Use half a pear and cut it into fine slices. Then drizzle with honey.
6. SMOKED SALMON, CREAM CHEESE, CUCUMBERS
Spread your favorite cream cheese on toast. Add smoked salmon and thinly sliced cucumbers. The perfect healthy breakfast.
7. HUMMUS, AVOCADO, TOMATO, MINT
Spread your favorite flavor of hummus on toast. Top with thinly sliced tomatoes and sprinkle herbs of mint on top. A unique, but tasty combination.
8. CREAM CHEESE, BERRIES, AND JAM
Spread cream cheese all over toast. Top with your favorite jam (I love grape). Finish it off with your favorite fresh berries. A sweet combination!
Next time you roll out of bed Monday morning having total Breakfast-making block…. TOAST that confusion with these easy, three ingredient combinations. They’re not only simple and quick, but delicious!
