When I have time to sit down, and enjoy a leisurely brunch, these are my two favorite recipes. When I am craving something savory, I prefer a timeless avocado toast. The richness of the fried egg, paired with the creaminess of the avocado, and the crispiness of the toast make for the perfect savory meal. Now when I want something sweet, I go for pancakes with a banana foster on top. The timeless pancakes paired with the elegance of bananas foster makes for the perfect sweet meal. Enjoy!

avocado toast ingredients:

• 1 slice of your favorite gluten-free bread
• 1/2 of an avocado

avocado toast recipe:

• Crack an egg into a non-stick pan and let cook about 1 minute and 30 seconds on each side at medium-high. For a runny yolk, cook about 1 minute on each side, and for a firmer yolk, cook about 1 minute and 45 seconds on each side.
• Place the fried egg to the side and let cool.
• Mash up the avocado and combine with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasoning. I prefer to add Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
• Toast a piece of bread. Spread the avocado on the toast, and place the egg on top of it.
• If needed, season the egg with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
