Spring is in the air. So, why not celebrate the sunny season with a beautiful spring brunch of light, fresh, and flavorful recipes featuring seasonal vegetables and bold Spice World ingredients?
Seasonal produce is fresher, tastier, more nutritious, and more cost effective than out-of- season items, which require more energy and resources to grow and transport. Plus, when you buy seasonally, you’re also helping support local farmers!
With a few simple ingredients and a high-quality nonstick skillet, you can prepare a restaurant-quality avocado toast that’s sure to delight your guests.
Why it works for brunch: Avocado toast is packed with healthy fats and flavor and it’s easily customizable: Try toppings like cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, pickled red onions, feta, and smoked salmon. Impress guests even more when you fry your eggs in a little Spice World Chili Onion Crunch. It’ll add a delicious kick to your classic avocado toast.
Prep tips: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to your mashed avocado to help preserve the vibrant green color. Crack your eggs on a flat surface (like a cutting board or countertop) rather than the edge of a bowl to help prevent pieces of egg shell from falling into your food.
This egg white omelet recipe is another light, heart-healthy entrée for a vegetarian spring brunch. Whisk the egg whites until frothy to give your omelet a light and airy texture.
Health Benefits: Egg whites are high in protein, low in calories and fat, and cholesterol free. Conversion tip: When you omit yolks in scrambles and omelets, use two egg whites in place of every whole egg.
Wake up your taste buds with a cheesy, savory skillet that comes together in no time. It’s a breakfast flavor bomb, and it can be conveniently made in one cast iron skillet.
Cooking Tips
These sweet and savory sauteed mushrooms may become one of your favorite garlic-infused recipes. Save the marinade for later use on more mushrooms or use it as a salad dressing.
