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.
Very yum Denise! I think it must tick all the healthy boxes too lol (if I was keeping count ;D)). It looks very nice even without tasting it and I can imagine all those lovely flavours together.
ReplyDeleteYour signature is really sweet too :D) cheers and have a great week xx
Hi Sue, yes it is one of those healthy dishes :) I always wonder about these 'healthy' meals but much to my surprise it was a really delicious combination. Glad you like the signature, I have fun doing those. Cheers to you, have a great week and I hope you had a great weekend.
DeleteThat looks good. I love portabella mushrooms they are good to eat instead of meat. They make great burgers
ReplyDeleteHi Janice, I agree, I always enjoy them when I have a meatless meal. I'll have to try them as burgers.
DeleteNOw that looks and sounds like something I would like an very easy to make
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Margaret :)
Deletedh has oatmeal every am and sometimes gets tired of the same ole thing, roasted any veges are great in my book.
ReplyDeleteMe too Linda, I tend to stick with something as I enjoy it so much, but it is always nice to have a change.
DeleteHello, this looks delicious and easy. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!

Obrigado, espero que você tenha uma boa semana também.
DeleteNow you've made me feel hungry. Anything with mushrooms wins my vote.
ReplyDeleteThese recipes have a tendency to do that don't they Valerie? I remember as a child mum going to the greengrocer and buying field mushrooms as big as plates. A childhood taste that was the best in the world :)
DeleteLooks quite delicious to me, yum yum. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it so, thanks Diane and cheers to you also.
Deleteit looks good from here, but I would have to pass on this one
ReplyDeleteSorry Sandra, hopefully I will have something you can enjoy one of these times.
DeleteUnusual, and very healthy!! It is pretty, too!
ReplyDeleteYes Ginny, pretty and tasty :)
DeleteThis looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, it was very much so.
DeleteI've never had avocado, so I don't know how it tastes, but everything else seems agreeable.
ReplyDeleteHi William, it took me a long time to try avocado. I had been in the States for several years and don't remember them at all in the UK when I was growing up.
DeleteThis looks yummy, Denise. I would leave out the avocado though and add bacon instead. Avocado is not my favorite unfortunately. Have a happy week. ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha Ellen, bacon would be very nice on this.
DeleteThis is a great idea for a different breakfast (at any time of the day). I do make avocado toast sometimes and put a poached egg on top ...our usual bkfast is fruit and either peanut butter toast or oatmeal, but sometimes you do really want a change!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good too Sallie. I have often fixed myself poached eggs on toast, one of the favorites that both hubby and I enjoy.
DeleteIt looks so tasty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose, it was :)
