Ingredients

2 waffles Van's Power Grains Original
2 eggs
2 tbsp cheddar cheese grated
1/8 tsp rosemary fresh, finely chopped
1/4 avocado sliced
2 turkey bacon
salt to taste

Instructions

Cook turkey bacon according to instructions on package, or preferred method (I like it best when it's made on a skillet, but you can also use a microwave or even prep in advance and just heat up as needed).
While turkey is cooking, slice avocado and grate cheese.
Whisk eggs. Add rosemary and salt and whisk until mixed. Scramble eggs using your preferred method. You can scramble with the cheese, or add cheese at a later step.
Toast Van's Power Grains waffles until toasted and hot. You might need to do two cycles in your toaster!
Layer eggs, turkey bacon, cheese, and avocado on waffle while everything is hot. The cheese will melt. Top with second waffle.
Optional: add butter to each waffle. I left this out because the avocado and cheese were all I needed. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don't like/have rosemary, just leave it out. Basil would also work well here!

To make this recipe 21 Day Fix compliant, make the following change(s):

This recipe goes a little over on blue containers. So, to keep it to one blue, be sure to combine avocado and cheese in blue container to make sure you're not going over on your blues. Alternately, you can cut out the avocado completely and increase the cheese to 1/3 cup, OR cut out the cheese and use one blue of avocado!
If you would like to reduce your yellows, serve open-faced over one waffle.

21 Day Fix container counts (1 sandwich): 2 yellow, 2 (almost) red, 1 blue

You can prep these ingredients ahead of time and easily assemble this sandwich quickly in the mornings. You can also freeze these for later; however, if you freeze be sure to let it cool completely before freezing. If it's not completely cooled, the moisture will make it soggy when you warm it up later.
