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 breakfast is:
- Vegetarian and vegan
- Egg-free
- Dairy-free
- Low-fat (only 1.5g per serving!)
- High in plant-based protein (14.5g per serving)

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!
