Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 4 English muffins, split
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter, softened
- 1 small avocado, peeled and mashed
Egg and Bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon
Veggies and Cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup baby spinach
- 1 small tomato, cut into 4 slices
Instructions
- Toast English Muffins: Toast the English muffins until golden and crisp. Then spread the softened butter on each muffin. Evenly spread the mashed avocado over half of the muffins and set aside.
- Cook Bacon: In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy, about 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the bacon slices to a paper-towel lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cool enough to handle, break each slice in half.
- Prepare Eggs: Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet. Heat the remaining fat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the eggs to the skillet, cover, and cook for 1 minute to begin setting the whites.
- Add Toppings and Finish Cooking: Top each egg with three halved pieces of bacon and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the pan again, remove it from heat, and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheddar melts and the egg whites are fully cooked.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place each bacon-and-cheese topped egg onto the avocado-spread English muffin halves. Add 2 tablespoons of baby spinach on top, followed by a slice of tomato. Finish by placing the muffin tops on each sandwich. Serve immediately.
- Freezing Instructions: Allow the fully assembled sandwiches to cool to room temperature. Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil and place inside a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 4 months.
- Reheating Instructions: Preheat an oven or toaster oven to 350°F. Remove the sandwiches from the freezer and unwrap. Heat sandwiches in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through.
Notes
- For best texture, use fresh avocado and ripe tomatoes.
- The bacon fat adds flavor to the eggs; do not discard all the fat.
- These sandwiches are freezer-friendly and can be stored up to 4 months.
- Reheat thoroughly before serving for best taste.
- Substitute turkey bacon or plant-based bacon for a lighter or vegetarian option.
