Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs (scrambled, fried, or poached)
- 2–3 slices fresh tomato (Roma or heirloom recommended)
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (or gluten-free alternative)
- 1–2 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese, optional)
- ½ avocado, sliced (optional for creaminess)
- 1 handful fresh spinach (optional for extra nutrients)
- 2–3 slices bacon or 1 sausage patty (optional for added protein)
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for toasting bread)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp hot sauce or mayonnaise (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
Toast the Bread
- Lightly butter or drizzle olive oil on both slices of bread.
- Toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, or use a toaster.
Cook the Eggs
- Scramble: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and cook in a skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until fluffy.
- Fried: Heat oil or butter in a pan, crack eggs, and cook until whites are set, leaving yolks runny if desired.
- Poached: Bring water to a simmer, add a splash of vinegar, swirl the water, and gently drop in an egg, cooking for about 3 minutes.
Slice the Tomatoes
- Cut tomatoes into thick slices and pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Place cooked eggs on one slice of toasted bread.
- Layer on tomato slices, followed by cheese (if using) to allow it to slightly melt.
- Add optional toppings like avocado, spinach, or bacon.
Top and Serve
- Place the second slice of toasted bread on top, pressing gently.
- Cut in half for easy handling.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Make It Ahead: Assemble the sandwich without tomatoes and store it wrapped in foil in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a toaster oven before adding fresh tomatoes.
- Low-Carb Option: Swap bread for a lettuce wrap or portobello mushroom caps.
- Spicy Twist: Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or pepper jack cheese for a kick.
- Dairy-Free: Use plant-based cheese or skip it altogether.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free bread or an alternative like sweet potato slices.
