This breakfast is something in-between a savoury French toast and scrambled eggs on toast so I wasn't sure what to call it. "Eggy" toast is the best I could come up with.
Anyway, It's toast, spread with an eggy chickpea flour mixture, grilled with asparagus spears on top and it is so delicious!
It makes the perfect, comforting spring breakfast and can be ready in under 15 minutes.
Serve it on it's own or add some extra grilled veggies on the side. Grilled mushrooms and tomatoes are amazing with this toast!
I used sourdough bread because that's my favourite but feel free to use wholemeal, plain white or whatever takes your fancy.

This looks delicious, those flavours sound amazing together, I always tend to do the same thing with asparagus, grill it, so it's great to get some inspiration , I will definitely be trying this out
Amy says
How do you grill the toast with the asparagus on it without burning the toast before the asparagus is cooked?
Albion P. Chipman says
I had the same question. I'm thinking BAKE not grill. Also I don't see any evidence of "grilling" in the picture. Even baked it would have to be very young tender asparagus to get close to done I would guess no?

This is a great idea, I can't wait to try it for breakfast. I used to love scrambled eggs for breakfast!
