I put this together as a first meal of the day at eleven-ish, brunch I guess. I also think it would be nice for lunch or supper.
This is not for everyone I know, but for me it was a great combination of flavors, one of those 'boring-on-their-own-but-together-kind-of-delicious' type of meals. There is no recipe. I like to go through Instagram and saw a photo similar to this one, except that they used a slice of toast, and had bacon instead of the tomato. I used a large portabella mushroom for my base, and I had an avocado that was ripe.
I roasted the mushroom in the oven for 20 minutes on 400 degrees F., using 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil drizzled on the top. While that was cooking I hard-boiled an egg and sautéed a sliced tomato using cooking spray (I would have cooked the tomato in the oven with the mushroom if I had thought about using one beforehand). The avocado I mashed up with a squeeze of lemon juice added, which not only kept it from going brown but gave it a nice but not overpowering zing.
On the plate, roasted portabella, topped with the mashed avocado/lemon juice mix, sliced hard-boiled egg (you could poach or fry an egg instead), and the sliced sautéed tomato.
I wouldn't hesitate to make this again as it made a delicious change for breakfast/lunch. I usually have a bowl of oatmeal but felt like something different today.

I wish I could give credit for the original idea from Instagram. I try to remember to ID but occasionally forget.
Enjoy your week everyone. Thanks for stopping by.
