This Nordic Breakfast Toast was inspired by a dish we had at a local restaurant that is packed with heart healthy, Mediterranean diet flavors. It’s so simple to make and really packs in the nutrients with whole grain crackers, fresh herbs, creamy avocado, smoked salmon and hard boiled eggs.
What is a Nordic Breakfast?
The Nordic diet is very similar to the Mediterranean diet. It focuses on incorporating more plant based, seasonal foods into everyday meals. It’s very heavy on seasonal fruits, vegetables and seafood.
Typical “nordic style breakfasts” include items like porridge with fruits and nuts or some type of combination of fresh fruit, seafood, and eggs.
What’s Included in this Nordic Breakfast Toast
This is truly a breakfast dish that has it all! It might seem like a lot of ingredients but trust me when I say that it’s so quick & easy!
This is a filling and healthy nutrient filled breakfast –
- whole grain Wasa Crackers
- smoked wild alaskan salmon
- dairy free chive cream cheese (we love the Kite Hill brand)
- microgreen/sprouts
- sliced cucumber
- hardboiled eggs
- everything but the bagel seasoning
- drizzle of olive oil
This Nordic Breakfast Toast is perfect for busy mornings because it’s filled with fiber, vegetables, protein from salmon and hardboiled eggs, heart healthy fat from salmon and avocado. The best part is that it’s so flavorful!
To make this even easier to make, we spend 15 Minutes Meal Prepping once a week by slicing veggies (like the cucumber used in this recipe) and making Instant Pot Hardboiled Eggs. I mean seriously with that little prep it only takes a few minutes to make.
***Full disclosure I did receive free samples of the Wasa Crackers used in this recipe but was not compensated for my time or my honest review.
