Make this high protein Lentils and Greens Toast for a flavorful, savory breakfast that's great to prep ahead of time for a quick meal in minutes. This toast is totally plant-based, for a healthy breakfast!
This toast is such a hearty breakfast!
Lentils for protein and fiber. Spinach, which has a surprising amount of protein itself, as well as micronutrients. And sprouted bread, for even more protein and healthy carbohydrates.
If you're looking to get more protein and nutrients in at breakfast, this lentils and greens toast is for you!
Step 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shallots, fennel, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 2. Add the lentils, salt, cayenne, and the remaining vegetable broth. Stir, scraping down sides of pot so that all of the lentils are submerged. Partially cover and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 3. Remove the lid and lay the spinach on top of lentils. Do not stir. Cover again and cook 2-3 minutes, then stir and cook another 2-3 minutes until the lentils are cooked and the greens are wilted.
Step 4. Meanwhile, toast the bread.
Step 5. To assemble, add the greens and lentils to a slice of toast. Top with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of mustard seeds. Enjoy!
I recommend using a sprouted bread like Ezekiel bread. Sprouted grains can be tolerable for people who are sensitive to gluten but not celiac.
If you are celiac or know you are sensitive to sprouted grains, choose a gluten-free sourdough. Or your favorite gluten-free bread of choice.
This dish is perfect to prep ahead and enjoy for breakfast each day of the week.
Simply prepare the lentil and spinach mixture and reheat in the microwave before topping your fresh toast.
Thank you God for this healthy breakfast. Let it fuel our day to do Your work. Amen.
