Tea + Toast: Savory Edition

by Lisa Lin | Healthy Nibbles & Bits Leave a Comment

Tea and toast

I wasn’t always a morning person, but I have come to appreciate the quiet hour that I have to myself. It’s not much—usually a few moments of meditation, reading, breakfast and a hot cup of tea. This small ritual is all I need to get my day started on the right foot.

Lately, my breakfast of choice has been savory toast. Often times, it means toast with a healthy smear of avocado and some beans or eggs for extra protein. Here are two of my favorite ways to prepare savory toast:

Avocado Toast with Egg

Tea and ToastIngredients

2 slices of bread

1 large avocado

1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more if necessary

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 large eggs

pepper flakes for topping (optional)

Directions

Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a pan.

Cut the avocado in half. Remove the flesh and place it into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork. Add the salt, garlic powder and lemon juice and mix together. Taste and add more seasoning to your liking.

Heat large non-stick pan or skillet with the olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan. Cook the until the egg whites are fully settled and no longer runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.

Spread half of the smashed avocado onto a slice of toast. Top each slice with an egg. Sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top, if desired.

Another one of my favorite savory breakfasts is to spread with a thin layer of salted butter on toast, topped with sliced tomatoes and fruit. I’ll also sprinkle some some fresh herbs over everything to give the toast extra flavor.

Heirloom Tomato & Fig Toast with Basil

Ingredients

2 slices of bread

2 teaspoons salted butter

1 large heirloom tomato, sliced

4 mission figs, sliced

1 tablespoon chopped basil

Directions

Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a pan.

Spread a teaspoon of butter on each slice of toast. Top each slice with tomatoes and figs. Sprinkle some chopped basil on top.

I enjoy noshing on these savory toasts with Numi’s Balance or Gratitude teasans. The subtle, sweet flavors of these tea blends balance the savory flavors of the toast very well!

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
