garlicky swiss chard and egg toast
Sometimes my favorite recipes really aren’t recipes at all. This garlicky swiss chard toast is a good example of what I love to make for lunch when I am in a pinch for time. Honestly, if I could eat all of my meals on a piece of toast I would be a happy girl. This is my favorite lunch creation in between harvesting for markets and running around town doing our vegetable deliveries.
The highlight of this particular toast creation is the garlicky chard!
I don’t normally blog about what I eat for lunch, but this recipe (or non recipe) is the perfect example of what I eat around noon almost every day. It never gets old!
Not only is it easy to whip up but it is loaded with protein. Chard, avocado, and eggs really go well together. Feel free to play around with different toppings. I sometimes add a tomato or onion. The highlight is the garlicky chard though! Dig in.

Use this recipe as a guide. Adjust measurements and ingredients as necessary.
If you could just whip up one of these for lunch and deliver it to me, that would be great! Garlicky greens are a favorite of mine, too. This looks perfect for the chilly & overcast weather we’re experiencing right now!
I would eat this for lunch and/or dinner every day! I am such a sucker for a runny yolk plus greens.
So, no judgement zone, right? … I don’t think I’ve ever tried swiss chard. That toast looks amazing though, so I think I’m going to have to remedy this, ASAP.
This looks awesome! I always do poached eggs w/ avocado toast…or poached eggs w/ greens on toast but never thought to combine avocados AND greens. Amazing!
I most definitely agree the best recipes are not recipes at all. Throwing delicious things together’s where its at. This toast’s where it’s at! Love the chard, egg and avocado combination!
I mad this as a late lunch for my hubby & me ,also with Swiss chard from my garden & it was just divine! xxxx
MMMMMMM! 🙂
I feel like I won the cooking lottery having stumbled upon your blog. I’ve made 4 recipes so far, including this one and all have been perfect. Creamy Parsnip potato soup on the stove now. I’m sure it will not disappoint.
