Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 4 English muffins, split
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter, softened
Fillings
- 1 small avocado, peeled and mashed
- 4 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup baby spinach
- 1 small tomato, cut into 4 slices
Instructions
- Toast the muffins: Toast the English muffins until golden. Butter each muffin and spread the mashed avocado evenly over half of them. Set aside.
- Cook the bacon: In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon for 7 to 9 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, break each slice in half.
- Prepare the eggs: Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cover, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add toppings and finish cooking eggs: Top each egg with 3 halves of bacon and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the pan, remove from heat, and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and egg whites are fully cooked.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place one egg with bacon and cheese on each muffin half that has smashed avocado. Add 2 tablespoons of baby spinach, then top with tomato slices and the muffin tops. Serve immediately.
- To freeze: Let the assembled sandwiches cool to room temperature. Wrap each sandwich in foil, then place into a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 4 months.
- To reheat: Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350°F. Reheat sandwiches wrapped in foil for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through.
Notes
- For crispier bacon, cook it longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like Swiss or Monterey Jack.
- To speed up reheating, you can unwrap the foil for the last 5 minutes to crisp up the muffin slightly.
- Substitute English muffins with bagels or thick bread slices if preferred.
- Use fresh spinach for best flavor and texture instead of frozen.
