This recipe for breakfast contains long-lasting carbohydrates, protein and healthful fats to keep you fueled as long as possible.
These 5-minute breakfast sandwiches are protein-rich, filling and inspired by Indian street-food vendors who grill up sandwiches lathered in green and red chutneys in just seconds.
In a frying pan over medium heat, fry the turkey rashers for 2 minutes on each side until just crispy, then remove from the pan.
Add the butter to the pan, then add your slices of sourdough and toast them low and slow for 3-4 minutes on each side until warm and crispy. Remove from the pan.
Finally, fry 2 eggs, then remove them from the pan.
To assemble your sandwiches, add a dollop each of green and red chutney to two of the slices of sourdough. Layer each one with the turkey rashers, an egg, slices of tomato and red onion, arugula or spinach, and avocado. Top the sandwiches with the second sourdough slices and enjoy.
