Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pieces bacon slices
- 1 piece cheddar cheese slice
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado, and mash with a fork until smooth to make a spread.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil or butter to coat the pan evenly.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact. Cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, cook the bacon slices in another skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain excess grease on paper towels.
Place one cooked egg on a plate as the base, and spread a layer of avocado on top.
Layer with one slice of cheddar cheese and the cooked bacon slices.
Top with the second cooked egg, yolk side facing down.
Serve immediately for a delicious and hearty low carb breakfast sandwich.
