A Tomato and Bacon Breakfast Sandwich is the perfect way to start your day. Combining crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado on toasted bread, this sandwich is both hearty and delicious. It’s easy to make and packed with flavours that will keep you satisfied all morning.
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of your favourite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or ciabatta work well)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 4 slices of cheese (optional, such as cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
- Fresh arugula or spinach leaves (optional)
- Mayonnaise or aioli (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1 – Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 2 – Prepare the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, flipping them gently if you prefer them over easy or over medium. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3 – Toast the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown. You can do this in a toaster, under the broiler, or in a dry skillet.
Step 4 – Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or aioli on one side of each slice of toasted bread (if using). Layer the sandwiches as follows: Place a few slices of avocado on the bottom slice of bread, followed by a slice of cheese (if using), a fried egg, two slices of bacon, and a few slices of tomato. Add a handful of arugula or spinach leaves if desired. Top with the remaining slice of bread.
Step 5 – Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately.
