5 Layer Breakfast Stack

I love breakfast.  It is one of my favorite meals to eat out.  However, often I eat out for breakfast, and I am pretty useless the rest of the day.  I do not eat eggs often but when I do they have to be runny.  It's the best way to enjoy them!  This breakfast stack is hearty but healthy.  It'll leave you very full but able to enjoy your day.  I love all the middle eastern spices and the tomatoes mixture is delicious.  

Black eye peas:

Black eye peas are high in protein.  They are great way to start the day because they will keep you full.  The are also high in fiber.  Although, they do not contain many vitamins they are rich in folate.  Folate promotes cellular growth and enhances the body's metabolism.
