Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices whole grain bread or 1 English muffin
  • Handful of leafy greens (spinach or arugula)
  • 2–3 tomato slices
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil or butter for cooking

Optional Ingredients

  • Cheese (such as 1 slice cheddar or 2 tbsp crumbled feta)

Variation Add-ons (Optional)

  • Roasted peppers, mushrooms, or sautéed onions
  • Sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes
  • Lean turkey bacon, smoked salmon, or dollop of Greek yogurt
  • Fresh herbs like chives, basil, parsley, dill, or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and slice the tomato and avocado. Rinse your leafy greens and toast your bread or English muffin until golden brown for the best texture contrast.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs and cook to your preference—scrambled, fried, or poached. Season with salt and pepper while cooking.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Start with a slice of toasted bread. Layer on the leafy greens, then place your cooked eggs. Add tomato slices and avocado on top. If using cheese or additional toppings, include them now. Finish with the second slice of bread.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Press the sandwich gently to combine all the elements, slice in half if desired, and savor your quick, healthy meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs: Farm-fresh or organic eggs enhance flavor and texture.
  • Control moisture: Pat tomato and avocado dry to prevent soggy bread.
  • Toast bread properly: Helps avoid soakage and adds crunch.
  • Cook eggs gently: Use low heat to keep eggs tender.
  • Experiment with herbs: Fresh parsley, dill, cilantro, or chives can brighten the flavor.
