Breakfast in Bed, Avocado Style

Let Mom sleep in and then wake up to a delicious, restaurant-quality, avocado style, Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. If your Mom is anything like me, she will appreciate those extra winks and a thoughtful meal that pays homage to her love of avocados, with a surprise egg underneath. This gorgeous breakfast plate is easy enough for children of all ages to help prepare.

First, let me say Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there! I’m honored to be on this journey of motherhood right along with you. Mom life is definitely one of the hardest, most rewarding and amazing experiences of a lifetime. It’s hard to imagine I’m sending my oldest off to college in the fall. As many of you know, the time flies, so enjoy every moment with your kids.

One of my favorite things about Mother’s Day is that I get to choose what we’re eating! And what mom doesn’t love to have her favorites delivered to her in bed? I have always been a savory breakfast kind of gal. A good breakfast casserole or baked eggs have always ranked high on my breakfast bucket list.

However, my love of everything avocado has really exploded over the years. Avocado has happily found a place in my breakfasts, desserts and it’s always a part of my snacking regimen. And there is nothing more delicious than enjoying avocado in its most pure and simple form.

Before you begin preparing this recipe, make sure to start Mom off with a cup of coffee and sweet treat for dipping. Don’t forget a pile of magazines or a new book to entertain her while she waits is also a great way to start off her day of pampering.

There are many aspects of this recipe that are perfect for the kids to help with. Let them start out by cutting plenty of heart-shaped dippers in sliced bread.

When it came time for choosing bread for my avocado filling and fried egg, I chose slices of Texas toast. If you’re not familiar with Texas toast it’s made from packaged bread that has been sliced at least double the average thickness of most other sliced breads. It’s available in almost every grocery store. The thickness allows enough room for the egg and for the maximum amount of avocado filling possible.

As I mentioned, I used Texas toast specifically for the egg and avocado filling. However, for all the extra dippers, choose a few varieties of bread you know your Mom likes. I filled in with dark rye, honey chia and an Italian style bread loaf.

Do not waste the bread that is leftover from the cutouts. Cut leftover pieces into cubes and place them in a freezer bag. Make homemade croutons at another time with your bread pieces. I do this with all my leftover bread pieces so nothing ever goes to waste.

Have the kids brush each of these hearts with olive oil before toasting them in the oven.

With a little bit of oil in a nonstick skillet and a little bit of oil dabbed onto your Texas toast bread, you are going to crack an egg right in the middle of the heart cutout. Depending on if Mom prefers a runny yolk or a more well done center will determine how long you cook your egg.

When Mom cuts into her toast, she will be pleasantly surprised there is an egg hiding underneath her Simply Avocado spread.

Make sure you have lots of available dippers so Mom can scoop up every last bit of avocado and egg.

What’s nice about the Simply Avocado packaging are these handy little trays it is packaged in that also includes a lid. When the rest of the family is ready to join Mom in bed, fill the tray with more dippers and let everyone dig in. I promise, Mom won’t mind the company of her biggest fans. Let us know how much mom loved her Simply Avocado breakfast in bed!
