- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato

Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Cook the vegetarian bacon strips according to package instructions, typically about 3-4 minutes per side until crisp. Remove and set aside.
While the vegetarian bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into thin slices.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and black pepper until well combined.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over low-medium heat, then pour in the beaten eggs. Cook the eggs, gently stirring and folding, until just set. Remove from the heat.
Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and firm.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On one slice, layer the cooked vegetarian bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese slices, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves.
