Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 patties sausage patties
- 4 large eggs
- 1 large avocado
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 60 grams cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, add the sausage patties and cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and black pepper.
Wipe the skillet clean and place it back on medium heat.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet to make an omelet-style egg patty. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set, then gently flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Divide the cooked eggs into four portions.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the sandwich, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, add one sausage patty, top with a portion of scrambled eggs, a thin slice of cheddar cheese, and a generous spoonful of mashed avocado.
Place another lettuce leaf on top to form a sandwich.
Repeat the steps to make a total of four sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb breakfast sandwich!
