Mediterranean Breakfast Avocado Toast

Made with eggs, tomato, sweet pepper, basil and olives, you seriously can’t go wrong with this Mediterranean avocado toast. It’s tasty, it’s fresh, flavorful and super satiating. Plus it’s a great way to get some veggies in before 10 am.

I remember when I was a student I sometimes used to work as a waitress. I wasn’t very good at it and the job wasn’t well-paid, because we weren’t allowed to get tips…but there was something great about this job. And it was the fact that you could work and make friends with people from all over the world. One time our supervisor asked me: “So, what do you eat for breakfast in your country?”…Being from Bulgaria, I responded: “Nothing” and she, a German, was empört aka outraged. “Nichts?”

My Turkish friend overheard this highly interesting exchange and tried to “defend” me: “But, you do eat like us, right? Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, olives, bread, cheese for breakfast…”

Blank expression. Even though we came from neighboring countries, I had never eaten cucumbers or tomatoes, or any type of vegetable for breakfast. We had banitsa or another type of fried or baked dough for breakfast. But in my particular case, I really never ate breakfast.

Needless to say, neither my friend, nor the supervisor found out what we actually ate for breakfast in my country. I’m pretty sure they both cried about it before going to sleep that night.

The brain is a weird thing, can’t figure out why this memory popped into my head when I was thinking about the words Mediterranean breakfast. Over the years, I traveled and met even more people believe it or not, I started actually enjoying breakfast more and more. This toast is a combination of my favorite things from the Mediterranean region – avocados, tomatoes, basil, olives…

How To Make Cappuccino Without Frother

Today I’ll show you how to make cappuccino or latte at home without a frother or a machine! The result of this super easy cappuccino recipe will be a cup of delicious cappuccino with thick creamy foam that stays a long time.

The best coffee for cappuccino is an espresso, but instant coffee or coffee alternatives (like chicory coffee) will work too!

When I say we’re learning how to make cappuccino, I don’t mean that sad thin foam that you get when you use a milk frother. Been there, done that. I’m talking creamier and thicker. The type you get at really good coffee places.

I learned how to make cappuccino after having a baby years ago and spending A LOT of time indoors. I just had to, because I was constantly tired and I’m too weak for black coffee. As Malcolm Gladwell suggested, I want my weak milky coffee! Preferably decaf. Yes, that will wake me up.

Little by little I started perfecting the cappuccino recipe and now I drink too much coffee. It’s decaf, but it still makes me shiver. Nothing can stop me.

Reasons To Make Cappuccino At Home

  • You’ll save money
  • When someone comes to visit, you don’t just offer “coffee”, no no no, you offer them THE best cappuccino ever. Your amazing skills will impress them and they will admire you and love you forever and ever.
  • It actually tastes much, much better, because you can adjust the ingredients to your liking. For example, over the years the milk portion of my cappuccino became smaller and smaller. Much like cafe con leche. Just an espresso and a little bit of milk. Now I can’t even get a regular cappuccino at a coffee shop without overexplaining myself (apparently mostly wrongly). When I make cappuccino at home, no explaining needed and it takes 5 minutes. And it’s the best cappuccino I’ve gotten in a while.
  • You now have a very important skill for life.


Cappuccino Vs. Latte

The difference between a cappuccino and a latte is the amount of milk you use to make them. In general, with cappuccino you use coffee to milk 1:1, latte you use coffee to milk 1:2.

Cappuccino Ingredients

There are many varieties of cappuccino and other espresso drinks using different flavors, sprinkles, sugar and chocolate out there right now. However, the original and, in my opinion, best recipe for cappuccino has just two ingredients: milk and espresso.

Milk. You need full-fat milk. It makes the creamiest foam ever. I usually use normal, chilled whole milk. Dairy-free options could work as well. I actually tried some, but I never liked the taste in combination with coffee. If you do use dairy-free milk, soy or oat milk might be the best options, use the barista variety for best results.

Coffee. Better yet, an espresso. Regular coffee could also work, but the original recipe calls for espresso and I agree.
