This waffle avocado and esquites (Mexican street corn salad) open egg sandwich is a savory breakfast that is healthy, flavorful, filling and high in protein.

When it comes to breakfast I’m all about getting creative and trying new recipes. I’m not one of those people who has the same thing for breakfast every day, I need to change things up a bit and make breakfast exciting as well as delicious. That is why I’m always thinking of new ways in which I can combine foods I love.

For this recipe, I used Kellogg’s® Eggo Nutri-Grain Low Fat waffles 10 Ct and they turned out to be the perfect base for this delicious Mexican inspired breakfast recipe.

Eggo Nutri Grain waffles have 8 grams of whole grain and are a great source of fiber. I love their taste, they’re just like you make at home but quicker and now with flavors and colors from natural sources.

What is Esquites?

Esquites is one of my favorite Mexican street foods. Growing up I would love to eat Mexican elotes locos; grilled corn on the cob with butter mayonnaise, lime, queso fresco, and chili. Esquites is the same thing but with the corn kernels in a cup so they’re easy to eat.

For this recipe, I substituted the mayo for Greek yogurt to make a skinny light version of the traditional Mexican esquites that is lower in calories, higher in protein and just as delicious as the original esquites.

This skinny esquites recipe combined with eggs and a delicious Eggo Nutri Grain Low Fat waffle made for a fantastic and flavorful breakfast dish that everyone raved about!

I love the slightly sweet flavor of the Eggo Nutri Grain waffle and the texture it gives this dish. My husband loved this so much he requested it for dinner the next day. And I was happy to oblige because making this avocado and egg waffle toast takes only minutes.

I love that this recipe is quick to make because I used Eggo Nutri Grain waffles. They’re so convenient! You just pop them in the toaster and they’re ready in no time and make for a great breakfast on their own or as part of an easy recipe like this one.

They’re also super convenient to buy. I just order my Eggo Nutri Grain Low Fat waffles from Walmart Online Grocery Pickup. I just order online and pick up in store. So easy!
