A hearty morning stack with avocado, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg on toasted bread for a satisfying start to your day.
# What You'll Need:
→ 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
# Cooking Steps:
01 - Fry bacon in skillet over medium heat until crispy, approximately 5–6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
02 - Wipe skillet clean, add half the butter, and toast bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Reserve toasted slices.
03 - Using remaining butter as needed, fry eggs to desired doneness (sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper.
04 - While eggs are cooking, place one cheese slice on two toasted bread pieces. The residual heat will begin melting the cheese.
05 - Layer two bacon strips, sliced avocado, tomato slices, and greens (if using) atop the cheese-covered bread slices.
06 - Position a cooked egg on each assembled stack, then top with remaining toasted bread slices.
07 - Serve immediately while hot. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally for easier handling if desired.
