Ingredients

1 medium tomato, diced
1 tablespoon minced green onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/16 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable juice
1 cup water
2 large eggs
2 multigrain English muffins
2 slices avocado

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine tomato, onion, garlic and black pepper. Set aside.
2. In a small pan, bring vegetable juice and water to a boil. Crack one egg into a shallow bowl, then gently pour it into the boiling liquid. Repeat with second egg. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 to 6 minutes for a firmer yolk.
3. While eggs cook, toast the English muffins. Lay toasted English muffins out on a clean work surface. Scoop half of the tomato mixture (made in step 1) on two of the English muffin halves.
4. Using a slotted spoon, remove an egg from the liquid. Allow as much liquid as possible to drain. Place the egg on top of the tomato mixture. Then place a slice of avocado and the other half of the English muffin on top. Repeat.
5. Serve immediately.
