Some mornings you need a quick breakfast that is sure to fill you up and hold you over until the next chance you get to eat (and who knows when that will be). With the combination of complex carbohydrates from the whole wheat bread and protein from the egg and cheese, this sandwich definitely fits the bill. The addition of avocado provides nearly 20 vitamins and mineral such as Vitamin C and potassium, as well as mono- and polyunsaturated fats (good fats). These good fats provide a range of health benefits from energy to aid in absorption of vitamins and minerals.

1 egg
Sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 Small Avocado
2 Tbls Favorite salsa (I used black bean and corn)
2 Slices whole wheat bread toasted
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat saute pan over medium flame. Spray pan with olive oil to coat the pan. Whisk egg in bowl and pour into heated pan. Cook, letting them set up a bit before stirring. Scrape along the edges and bottom of the pan to loosen and stir the egg pulling to the center. Once the eggs have come together, turn heat off. Sprinkle with cheese.
Place egg onto one side of the toast, add salt, pepper, avacado, and salsa. Top with other slice of toasted bread. Serve.
