Ingredients

  • 8 slices bread
  • 4 slices aged cheddar cheese
  • 4 organic eggs
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, to taste
  • Ground turmeric, to taste
  • Coconut oil cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spray a large skillet with coconut oil cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: Once the skillet is hot, lay out the 8 slices of bread. Top four slices with aged cheddar cheese. Depending on skillet size, cook in batches if necessary.
  3. Step 3: On the remaining four slices of bread, add fresh baby spinach and sliced avocado. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is golden brown underneath.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, heat a separate skillet over medium-low heat, coat it with coconut oil cooking spray, and add the eggs, keeping them separate if possible. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the eggs reach your desired doneness.

  6. Step 6: Assemble the sandwiches by placing the cooked eggs on the four slices with spinach and avocado. Top with the four slices that have melted cheddar cheese to complete each sandwich.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or sliced tomatoes to your sandwich.
  • Use whole grain or sourdough bread for a different texture and added nutrients.
  • If you prefer, scramble the eggs instead of frying them for a softer filling.
  • Add fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for a bright, fresh finish.

Storage

These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain bread crispness and melt the cheese again. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy bread.

How to Serve

The sandwich has three visible layers: toasted light brown bread on the top and bottom, a layer of cooked egg with a slightly runny yolk in the middle, and green leafy vegetables and slices of avocado beneath the egg. The sandwich halves are stacked, leaning against each other, showing the soft texture of the bread and the melted egg with green filling inside. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with a green and white striped cloth underneath. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this sandwich vegan?

To make a vegan version, substitute the eggs with tofu or chickpea scramble and use a plant-based cheese alternative. Also, ensure the bread contains no animal products.

Can I prepare parts of this sandwich ahead of time?

You can slice the avocado and wash the spinach in advance, but assemble the sandwich just before eating to keep the bread from becoming soggy and the avocado from browning.
