Ingredients:-

  • 2 slices of thick baguette bread
  • 4-5 grilled chicken strips
  • 2-3 slices of Cucumber
  • Tomato (2-3 slices)
  • 2-3 leaves of lettuce
  • 1-2 Tbsp of Avocado spread
  • 1 pinch of cracked pepper for seasoning

Method:

  • Step 1: Spread Avocado on both slices of the baguette and start the layering process of the sandwich.
  • Step 2: Layer first with Lettuce, then add the grilled chicken strips, slices of cucumber, and tomato, finish up with a dash of freshly ground pepper!

2. Christmas Breakfast Casserole

While opening gifts, enjoy this Mediterranean-inspired Christmas morning stew. Breakfast casseroles are ideal for feeding a large group, and you can speed up the preparation by cutting the bread into pieces the night before.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch of fresh spinach
  • 1 large chopped carrot 
  • 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 cups of low-fat milk 
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 5 medium eggs
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 12 oz. rustic whole-wheat bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)

Instructions: 

Step 1:  Squeeze the spinach in a clean kitchen towel over the sink to drain as much moisture as possible. In a medium mixing dish, combine the strained spinach and chopped carrots.

Step 2: In a small skillet over low heat, add a drizzle of oil and lightly saute the tomatoes, garlic, and crushed red pepper with a sprinkle of lemon zest. When the garlic becomes golden brown, add the spinach and carrot mixture, for 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 4: Mix the milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Combine the spinach-carrot mix, feta, and bread in a mixing bowl. Gently toss the bread until it absorbs the milk mixture. Fill a 13-by-9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish halfway with the mixture. Allow standing at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 5: Bake for 35 minutes, or until set and golden brown. Allow for 5–10 minutes before serving.
