The "Power Start" Avocado Toast (High Protein with Eggs & Ham)

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Notes

We all love avocado toast, but let's be honest: by itself, it’s mostly just carbs and fat. If you are trying to cut body fat while maintaining muscle, you need protein to start the day.
This is the Purple Donkey Remix: We take the standard cafe breakfast and upgrade it with Crispy Fried Eggs and a slice of Lean Ham. It transforms a "snack" into a complete, high-protein meal that keeps you full until lunch—and it takes less than 10 minutes to make.
The "Macro" Wins:
  • The Protein: By adding 2 eggs and a slice of lean ham, you are instantly adding ~20-25g of protein to your morning.
  • The Bread: We use hearty whole-wheat or seeded bread for complex carbs and fiber.
  • The Fat: Avocado provides the healthy fats needed for brain function (and it tastes amazing).
Ingredients:
  • 2 Slices Whole Wheat or Multigrain Bread
  • 1/2 Ripe Avocado (mashed)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Slice Lean Ham (or Canadian Bacon)
  • Salt, Pepper, and Red Pepper Flakes (optional for heat)
  • Cooking Spray (or a tiny pat of butter)
Instructions:
  1. The Toast: Get your bread in the toaster. You want it crisp enough to hold the avocado without getting soggy.
  2. The Eggs: While the bread toasts, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Crack in your two eggs. I like to fry them until the edges are crispy and brown but the yolk is still runny.
  3. The Ham: In the same pan (next to the eggs), throw in your slice of ham for 30 seconds just to warm it up and get a little color.
  4. The Assembly: Mash the avocado directly onto the hot toast. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. The Plate: Plate the toast, slide the eggs and ham right next to it (or on top if you're feeling fancy). Break the yolk and dig in.
