Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices Whole30 compliant ham slices
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 0.5 sliced avocado
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lettuce wraps. Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce leaves, ensuring they are sturdy enough to hold the sandwich fillings.
In a medium-sized skillet, add the avocado oil and heat over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care to keep the yolks intact, and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, approximately 3-4 minutes. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, flip the eggs and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, warm the ham slices for about 1 minute on each side or until they are heated through.
To assemble the sandwich, place one romaine lettuce leaf on a clean surface or plate. Layer a slice of ham, a cooked egg, and some sliced tomato over it.
Add avocado slices and a few rings of red onion, then top with another slice of ham and a second egg.
Finish with another lettuce leaf on top to complete your sandwich. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat the process for the second sandwich and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
