Mediterranean Breakfast Egg with Pesto and Tahini Paste

This stacked breakfast fare featuring hardboiled egg, tomato, avocado, spinach basil pesto and tahini paste is fashioned after the Jewish breakfast sandwich called Sabich.  Their version also has fried eggplant and hummus.  I saw it on TV being prepared by the Wolf and Bear Truck Eatery chef in the show Eat St.  I decided to put my own spin on it by following what my taste buds were craving and decided to spread pesto instead of hummus and use a round slice of the luscious tomatoes I had just bought from a farm stand instead of the fried eggplant. 

One can eat this stacked breakfast beauty without any bread or tortilla or the traditional pita for a low carb breakfast and it will still be satisfying.  On a tortilla, one can roll it up and have a portable breakfast.  The same convenience is true if they are placed on a pita bread.  Whatever way you decide to eat the combination of delicious ingredients in this Mediterranean breakfast fare, rest assured you will be starting your day healthy and with much joy. It is delicious.
