Savory Breakfast Bruschetta

Mornings that begin with a savory breakfast are a foolproof way to prevent the day from going sour. Making breakfast is a routine for me. It makes me feel at home and prepares me for the full day ahead. Now, it would be a lie to say every meal in the AM is like this! Most are filled with a simple Italian bread and jam or soy yogurt and granola. I like to keep things simple. However, on the days I test my limits, I'm never disappointed when I take the extra time to treat myself.


At last, this recipe couldn't be easier. It looks as fresh as it tastes with hints of savory garlic and a surprise in the bread. Oh yes, darling friends. The bread has kalamata olives baked within it. A light taste of salt from the olives is enough. There's no need to add more to the recipe.

Now, I warmed my pan to medium low so my eggs could lightly fry up while I chopped my tomato, clove of garlic and twig of basil. I added the goods to a bowl and stirred a tablespoon of olive oil after topping with fresh cracked black pepper. As my eggs started to lightly pop, I added my thick sliced bread to a toaster. Yep, friends ... I told you, as easy as possible. If you don't have a toaster. I recommend putting your bread in the oven on broil for 3 minutes on each side.

Once your bread is toasty, add the eggs on top and the bruschetta mixture all around. A classic, simple, happy meal that you just can't be upset about.

Happy cooking, mes amies!

Recipe by: The Salad Trip

Ingredients: 

- 2 Slices Kalamata Bread, Artisan
- 2 Eggs, fresh
- 1 Roma Tomato
- 1 Basil, stem
- 1 Garlic, clove
- 2 Tbs Olive Oil
- Pepper to taste


Instructions:

Prep pan with 1 Tbs Olive Oil on medium low heat. Once warm, add two eggs to pan. No need to stir, keep them sunny side up.

While slowly frying, cup up tomato, garlic and basil in a bowl. Add the other Tbs of olive oil, mix and add pepper. Allow to sit.

After about 4-5 minutes of the egg frying (the edges will be crispy and start to crackle), remove from heat and let sit.

Pop bread into the toaster or in an oven on broil (about 3 minutes each side). Once toasted, add an egg to each and top with tomato mix.

Sit down with your morning coffee, take a picture, post to instagram, #thesaladtrip and enjoy!
