Loaded Breakfast Sandwich (Printable Version)

A hearty morning sandwich stacked with avocado, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg on toasted bread.

# Ingredient List:

→ Bread & Spreads

01 - 4 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or brioche)
02 - 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for toasting

→ Proteins

03 - 4 slices bacon or turkey bacon
04 - 2 large eggs

→ Dairy

05 - 2 slices cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese

→ Vegetables

06 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced
07 - 1 small tomato, sliced (optional)
08 - 1 handful baby spinach or arugula (optional)

→ Seasonings

09 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - Cook bacon in skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
02 - Wipe skillet and melt half the butter. Toast bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
03 - In same skillet, add remaining butter if needed and fry eggs to preference (sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper.
04 - While eggs cook, layer one slice of cheese on two toasted bread slices so it melts slightly from bread's heat.
05 - Top each cheese-topped slice with 2 bacon strips, sliced avocado, tomato, and spinach or arugula if using.
06 - Place cooked egg on each stack, then crown with remaining toasted bread slices.
07 - Serve immediately, optionally cutting in half for easier eating.
