The California


My honey is the most wonderful man in the planet.  We have both been sick for the past several days and being the sweetie that he is, he prepared one of my favorite meals the other morning.  In Nashville, there is a coffee shop called Frothy monkey that we used to eat something called "The California" every time we went.  It was really simple and easily made at home, but we have been missing that coffee shop so badly.  When my husband prepared a dish resembling The California the other morning, I smiled remembering all the wonderful memories that Frothy Monkey used to bring me.  Soon we will take a visit to Nashville again and I will get to revisit that wonderful place, but until then...we will suffice with our own homemade renditions...

The California

Ingredients:

2 slices Ezekiel bread
1 (or two if you want more) egg
bean sprouts (about 1/4 cup)

your fav. salsa
cheese
avocado

Instructions:

Toast your bread and fry up an egg to your desired personal taste.  When the egg is pretty close to done, put a slice of cheese on top.  Put one piece of toast on the plate and place the avocado on the toast.  Put the egg/cheese on top of the avocado (stacking), and lastly add sprouts on top.  The extra piece of toast is just for yummy fun!  Add a dab of your favorite salsa on the plate for dipping and keep a few slices of avocado on the side.  Enjoy!
