Description

A quick and delicious 5-minute breakfast sandwich featuring warm toasted sourdough, crisp thick-cut bacon, creamy avocado, and fluffy eggs. Perfect for busy mornings or elegant brunches.

Ingredients

Scale

2 slices thick-cut sourdough or brioche bread
3–4 strips thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon
1 large ripe avocado
2 large eggs
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh chives or cilantro (optional)

Instructions

Cook bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tbsp of bacon grease.
Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook in the reserved bacon grease over medium-low heat until just set (scrambled) or fry sunny-side up.
Toast bread slices until golden brown and sturdy.
Slice the avocado thinly. If mashing, mix with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the sandwich: Place avocado on the bottom slice of bread, followed by eggs, then broken bacon pieces. Top with the second slice of bread.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or fresh herbs if desired. Cut diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, cook bacon first to render fat for the eggs. Use thick-cut bread to prevent sogginess. If using turkey bacon, add oil to the pan for cooking eggs. Store components separately to maintain texture.
