Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices low sodium turkey bacon
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 0.5 unit ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 slice red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the low sodium turkey bacon slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and add unsalted butter. Once melted, crack the large egg into the skillet. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. For a firmer yolk, gently flip the egg and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
While the egg is cooking, toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden and crisp.
Mash the avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Add lemon juice to the avocado and mix well.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of toasted whole wheat bread.
Layer fresh spinach leaves on top of the avocado, followed by a slice of red onion.
Place the cooked low sodium turkey bacon on top of the spinach and onion.
Add the cooked egg on top of the bacon. Finish with the remaining slice of toasted bread to complete the sandwich.
Cut in half if desired and serve immediately while warm.
