A hearty breakfast sandwich layered with crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg, creamy avocado, fresh tomato, and sharp cheddar on toasted sourdough bread.
Ingredients
- 6 slice bacon
- 4 eggs
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 4 slice cheddar cheese
- 4 slice sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
Steps
- Pat the bacon slices dry with paper towels to help them crisp up evenly during cooking.
- Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into thin slices. Slice the tomato into 4 rounds. Set both aside.
- Place bacon strips in a large skillet in a single layer without overlapping. Cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet.
- While the bacon cooks, toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and crispy.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet with the bacon fat and heat over medium heat until foaming.
- Crack 2 eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 2 eggs.
- Lay out the 4 toasted bread slices. Layer one slice each with 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 3 strips of bacon, 1 fried egg, avocado slices, and tomato slices.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slice and cut diagonally in half. Serve immediately while warm.
