🛒 Ingredients
For the Boiled Eggs:
- 2 large eggs – preferably free-range or organic
- Water – enough to cover eggs in the pot
- A pinch of salt – optional, to prevent cracking during boiling

🍳 Instructions
Boil the Eggs:

- Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let sit for 7–8 minutes for a medium-firm yolk.
- Remove the eggs and place in cold water for 1–2 minutes to stop cooking.
- Peel carefully when cooled.
Toast the Bread:
- While eggs are cooking, toast the whole wheat bread until golden and crisp.
- Spread with butter or mashed avocado if desired.
Assemble & Serve:
- Slice the boiled eggs in halves or quarters.
- Arrange them next to the toast on a plate.

- Serve warm.
💡 Tips for Mood & Nutrition
- Mood-boosting trick: Add a small sprinkle of turmeric and black pepper to the eggs — both are anti-inflammatory and may support brain health.
- Variation for picky eaters: Slice eggs into fun shapes or mash them with a tiny bit of Greek yogurt and herbs to make a kid-friendly egg spread.
- Add calories for active kids: Add a banana or nut butter on the side for additional energy and nutrients.
- Digestive support: Whole wheat toast supports gut health thanks to its fiber content — aiding those with slow digestion or recovering from illness.
🎯 Note
- Avoid overcooking eggs to preserve nutrients like vitamin D and choline.
- Pairing whole grains with protein in the morning promotes longer satiety and better focus — perfect before school or morning workouts.
- Eggs support neurotransmitter balance due to high choline levels, which benefits both mood and memory.
