Description
This egg and avocado breakfast sandwich is quick, healthy, and flavorful. With creamy avocado, a perfectly cooked egg, and toasty bread, it’s a wholesome way to start the day. Perfect for busy mornings or a cozy weekend brunch.
Ingredients
2 slices whole grain bread (or 1 bagel/English muffin, split)
1 large egg (fried, scrambled, or poached)
½ ripe avocado (mashed or sliced)
1 tsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins:
1 slice of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
Handful of fresh greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
Protein boost: bacon, turkey, or smoked salmon
Extra flavor: hot sauce, pesto, or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Toast the bread (or bagel/English muffin) until golden and crisp.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the egg to your liking (fried with runny yolk, scrambled, or poached). Season with salt and pepper.
Mash or slice the avocado. Spread mashed avocado onto one slice of toast (or bottom half of your roll).
Place the cooked egg on top, then add cheese, greens, or protein if using.
Finish with the second slice of bread, press gently, and enjoy warm.
Notes
For meal prep: cook the egg and prep the avocado spread ahead, then assemble in the morning.
To prevent browning: add a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado.
For melted cheese: place cheese on the egg while still in the skillet.
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be wrapped in foil for on-the-go breakfasts.
