Salsa Verde with Avocado Toast Recipe (Vegetarian)

Easy Weekend Brunch Sandwich Recipes

This tomatillo breakfast sandwich is what I call an Easy Weekend Meal – which is on your table in under 30 minutes.  These quick and simple recipes are perfect for those mornings when you want a healthy homecooked breakfast but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I have a whole section of The Herbeevore dedicated to Easy Weeknight Meals, that are great for the whole family. From soups and stews, to pastas and proteins – a healthy meal can be on your table in no time.  Even faster than ordering breakfast from a diner!

• Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
• Egg
• Avocado
• Bread of choice, use a gluten free version if you avoid wheat
• Lime Juice: If you don’t have fresh limes, this bottled lime juice is actually a fantastic substitute. I always keep some in the pantry – it’s great for sauces, dips, or even for cocktails!
• Tomatillo Salsa or Salsa Verde: we used a homemade tomatillo salsa for this breakfast sandwich, but this great tomatillo salsa you can get online here is the perfect addition too!
• Tomatillos: thinly sliced!  These are great to add to the base of your breakfast sandwich for a wonderfully tart and citrusy flavor. You can eat tomatillos raw or cooked, either works on this great breakfast sandwich.
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that get used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
• Adobo Seasoning: a really fantastic blend of salt, pepper, garlic, and spice! I like to get one that doesn’t have a lot of salt it in, so I can control the amount of salt going into the dish.
• Onion
• Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
• Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper.  Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.

A Great Clean-Out-The-Fridge Brunch Sandwich Recipe!

This tomatillo salsa verde breakfast sandwich recipe is the perfect vehicle to use up any older produce, extra salsa, or veggies you have on hand. Add your favorite ingredients and enjoy!  A fantastic way to use ripe produce (avocado or tomatillos) before it goes bad, or that extra scoop of salsa verde at the bottom of the jar – this easy brunch sandwich is delicious.

How Do I Make This Salsa Verde Breakfast Sandwich Recipe?

1. In a frying pan, heat olive oil over low heat. Fry the egg, about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and remove pan from heat, but leave the egg in the hot pan for 3 minutes so it can continue cooking.
2. In a medium bowl, add 1/2 avocado and mash with a fork. Add the lime juice, tomatillo salsa, adobo seasoning, and garlic powder and stir well to combine. Set aside.
3. Toast the bread until lightly golden brown. Spread one side of each piece of bread with the avocado & tomatillo mixture, dividing it evenly between the bread slices.  Top the avocado with thinly sliced onion, and one thin slice of your tomatillo, then the fried egg, then top with remaining tomatillo salsa.  Enjoy!
