- 1 medium tomato
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Slice the sandwich buns in half and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the tempeh bacon strips to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the eggs and cook to your preference (sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled). Season with salt and black pepper. Remove and set aside.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Season with a little salt.
Slice the tomato into thin slices.
In the same skillet, toast the sandwich buns cut side down until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread the mashed avocado on each bottom half of the buns. Layer with spinach, tomato slices, cooked tempeh bacon, and eggs. Top with the other half of the buns.
