Croissant Egg Sandwich

This is one my favorite lunch sandwiches. It actually has become a family favorite. It’s so simple to make and it’s filling and nutritious too. I love to eat this sandwich with fresh, raw veggies. The key ingredients in this sandwich are:

Egg: Egg is a great source of high quality protein. They contain vitamin B2, D, B6, B12 and minerals like zinc, iron, and copper.

Avocado: Avocados are a fruit that contains healthy fats. They also contain potassium, sodium, magnesium, Vitamin A, E, K, and B6.

Tomato: Tomatoes are a great source of antioxidants. They contain vitamin C, and K as well as potassium and folate.

Lettuce: Lettuce contains calcium, potassium vitamin C and folate.
