Description
Start your day with a delicious Avocado Breakfast Sandwich. It’s packed with creamy avocado, protein-rich eggs, and melty cheese, all nestled between perfectly toasted slices of Italian bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 slices Italian bread (substitute with whole grain for added fiber or gluten-free bread)
- 1 ounce Swiss cheese, sliced
- 1 ounce Cheddar cheese, sliced (or try pepper jack for a spicy kick)
- ½ ripe avocado, sliced
- Optional: Fresh baby spinach or arugula, Sliced tomato, Crispy bacon strips, Thinly sliced red onion, Hot sauce or sriracha, Fresh herbs like cilantro or chives
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook to your preferred doneness.
- While the eggs are cooking, spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Toast in another skillet butter-side down until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place Swiss cheese on one slice of toasted bread. Layer cooked eggs, avocado slices, and Cheddar cheese on top. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Return the sandwich to the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to melt the cheese.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure for the best texture.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like goat cheese or feta for a tangy twist.
- Season each layer separately for enhanced flavor.
- For a meal prep tip, pre-slice avocado and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- To keep the sandwich from getting soggy, place lettuce between the bread and wetter ingredients.
