Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 slices Turkey bacon, low sodium
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 Avocado
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves, fresh
- 0.5 small Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown using a toaster or oven grill.
Slice the avocado and tomato thinly, and set aside.
In the same skillet used for the bacon, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Crack the egg into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper. Cook the egg to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes for a slightly runny yolk.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of the toasted bread on a plate, layer with fresh spinach leaves, followed by the slices of turkey bacon.
Top the bacon with the cooked egg, then layer on the avocado and tomato slices.
Finish with the second slice of toasted bread. Press down gently to combine the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy bacon and egg sandwich.
