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.

What’s your favourite breakfast?
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
How do you grill the toast with the asparagus on it without burning the toast before the asparagus is cooked?
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!
this sounds awesome! We were both looking at this and saying “what a great idea! super fast and so simple!” Love it
looks lovely – though asparagus are not in season here but I am thinking of what vegies could be used in autumn
Oh my gosh! This looks amazing! I LOVE LOVE LOVE asparagus! Can’t wait to give this a try. :-)
That’s such a pretty looking toast. I would love to have it for breakfast or weekend brunch. Thanks for sharing teh recipe.
I love asparagus soooo much and this looks so amazing and restaurant-worthy!
I can’t even tell you how much I want to eat this right now. I Love asparagus, and that tart looks so good. Well done!
This sounds so very good and what a wonderful start to the day. I bought a big tub of nutritional yeast back in January and I still haven’t used it. Keep meaning to have a play, but somehow something else always pops up.
What a perfect lunch time treat! I love asparagus and before I was vegan I always used to eat it with eggs. It goes so well, so with the eggy flavour from the black salt it must be totally delicious. And, anything on toast is a good thing too!
I’ve never tried using chickpea flour to create eggs, I’ve used tofu but the family weren’t that keen (maybe I failed). This looks so very delicious and perfect for breakfast at this time of year. Which nutritional yeast do you use? We use the one with B12 added and mix it into rice dishes etc but I don’t think it gives that much of a cheesy flavour but it’s nice and savoury.
I love making ‘eggy’ things out of chickpea flour and black salt – it’s amazing!
Gorgeous pictures! I love asparagus so I’ll definitely be putting this on my must make list and the chickpea flour egg is an amazing idea!
eggs are actually my favorite breakfast and brunch!!! your version with asparagus looks amazing.
I love asparagus, this looks so creative and perfect for breakfast. Love to try it out :)
Chickpea flour and nutritional yeast are so effective in making most dishes better. Love asparagus season! :-)
Umm, yes please! Sounds amazing. I love grilled asparagus and I love eggy toast!
This is so creative! Probably my favourite use of chickpea flour I’ve seen so far :)
I am addicted to asparagus and breakfast breads, going to make this tomorrow for breakfast!!
Oh dear, this sandwich looks soo good!! Very col way to to take advantage of the asparagus season! :-)
Aimee, I love this, how simple! And pictures again beautiful, looking very elegant actually :-)
Thank you my dear! We really need to get together sometime for a recipe & photo collab! Let me know if you’re interested :-)
What a fun recipe idea! I’m always looking for new savory toasts and this one sounds delicious.
Thanks Alisa :-)
I’m loving the way you created the chickpea egg for this recipe! Asparagus toast is one of my favorites and I’ll have to try this out sometime!
I used to have asparagus with egg and toast a lot before I went vegan so I had to create something to cure those cravings!
I love using chickpea flour for vegan, eggy creations! This toast looks so delicious, and simple, to boot!
thanks Jackie!
Looks delicious! I have been eating asparagus with everything lately. So good!
Me too, trying to make the most of it before it’s out of season!
What a beautiful way to get in some veggies at breakfast that isn’t a green smoothie. I recently saw a vegan hollandaise sauce that I’m imagining would be delicious poured over top of this!
Oh my goodnes, yes! Hollondaise sauce would be amazing with this. Good thinking :-)
I’m reading this with my three-year-old, and he’s sad that his toast doesn’t have asparagus on it this morning!
Haha! That’s adorable :D
So elegant! This would be a perfect savory brunch for mother’s day!
And I would totally go savory for breakfast if I had this! (While i’m eating my chocolate nut buttery oatmeal right now :P )
How about this for your main breakfast and then chocolate oatmeal afterwards for “dessert” breakfast? That should be a thing.
