How to Make Breakfast Club Sandwich
Ingredients
- 3 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices of smoked bacon
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If preferred, you can flip them to cook the other side.
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown using a toaster or an oven set to broil.
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
- On the first slice, layer the lettuce, tomato slices, and bacon.
- Cover with a second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Then spread mashed avocado on the top side.
- Next, add the eggs and cheese on top of the avocado layer.
- Place the final slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to ensure everything stays in place.
- Secure the sandwich with toothpicks and carefully cut it into halves or quarters for easy serving.
