Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the butter to coat the skillet evenly.
Pour in the whisked egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, just until the eggs begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the eggs are in the oven, cook the sausage in another pan over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, about 5 minutes.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork, then mix in the hot sauce, adding more to taste if desired.
Remove the egg and cheese round from the oven. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut it into 4 equal portions.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a layer of baby spinach on each egg portion, followed by a generous spoonful of cooked sausage and a dollop of the spicy avocado mixture.
Top with the remaining egg portions to complete each sandwich.
Serve immediately, and enjoy a delicious low-carb start to your day!
