1. Croque Madame with Poached Eggs<\/a><\/h3>\n

The French were onto something when they designed this classic open-faced sandwich. Made with a slice of ham, cheese and a perfectly poached egg, this grilled toasty slice is a simple and satisfying breakfast<\/a> or lunch. Skip the b\u00e9chamel sauce if you\u2019re taking it to work to keep your bread perfectly crackly (and save the extra calories). Pair it with a flavorful mixed greens salad to round out the meal.

Your snack time<\/a> just got an upgrade with this Instagram-worthy rice cake. Beetroot<\/a> gives the hummus its bold hue and lends an earthy flavor. And when pureed with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt and olive oil, the delicious spread is sure to fill you up. Top with avocado slices, radishes, cilantro and sesame seeds.

3. Sweet Potato and Pinto Bean Open-Faced Tacos<\/a><\/h3>\n

Tacos<\/a> for breakfast? Why not! Using a non-stick skillet, flip some corn tortillas over stovetop to make them nice and crispy. Eggs, sweet potatoes and pinto beans will fill you up with protein and fiber so you can take on your day.

4. Baked Salmon Tartine<\/a><\/h3>\n

While we\u2019d all love to have a bagel with cream cheese and some lox every morning, it\u2019s not the healthiest choice. This open-faced sandwich is a lighter take. Dill-flavored Greek yogurt makes a savory and creamy spread for less than half the fat of cream cheese. Instead of lox, which tends with be high in sodium, this recipe calls for garlic-scented, oven-baked salmon. Photo and recipe: Natasha \/ Salt and Lavender<\/em><\/p>\n

5. NYC-Style Reuben<\/a><\/h3>\n

A slice of this toast offers all the goodness of a hearty New York City deli sandwich, but at a fraction of the calories. Pumpernickel rye bread isn\u2019t as dense and doughy as sourdough or whole-wheat bread, but has a deliciously tangy and sharp flavor. It\u2019s the perfect complement to the smoky pastrami and sweet pickles. Photo and recipe: Molly \/ Fueling the Fork<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Beet and Avocado Toast<\/a><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a commonly said rule that loads of color on your plate equals a nutrient-packed meal. This toast is no exception. Featuring diced tomatoes alongside red and golden beets<\/a>, the hearty toast includes a generous spread of avocados. Sprinkle some sunflower seeds, another source of healthy fats, and earthy sprouts to finish. Photo and recipe: Emily Brees \/ Oats and Sesame <\/em><\/p>\n

Even when you\u2019re ravenous, this beautiful toast is simple enough to whip up right at your desk. Goat cheese, lemon zest, and fresh dill and parsley make a flavorful and creamy base. Meanwhile, colorful radishes, cucumbers and avocado slices provide even more satiating fuel for the day. Photo and recipe: Julie Gartland \/ Camille Styles <\/em><\/p>\n

8. Roasted Grapes and Fresh Ricotta<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re new to roasting grapes, you don\u2019t know the incredible flavor you\u2019ve missing! These ones are thyme-roasted, and require minimal time in the oven before they start to caramelize. Grilli the bread slices, instead of toasting them, to give them the same charred lines as panini. Fresh ricotta cools things down and lends a slightly sweet flavor. Photo and recipe: Alexandra Stafford \/ Alexandra\u2019s Cooks <\/em><\/p>\n
