Reason to Choose This Particular Recipe
There are many ways one can make an egg sandwich. They can add veggies, hotdogs, chicken, and other heavier food to it. However, the addition of avocado and the use of this particular recipe works well because:
- This is a healthy avocado sandwich recipe; avocados are healthier than the other greasy add-ups.
- Eggs and avocados create a creamy and yummy tandem.
- The whole sandwich is easy to make and perfect for lunch or brunch.
Egg and Avocado Sandwich Ingredients
- Bread: Bread is the foundation of the whole dish. If the bread is lumpy and too soft, the egg and avocado may damage the entire texture. Thus, it is better to use thick and heavy bread like Artisan bread, but if there is none available, choose the thicker slice of bread.
- Eggs: There are many types of eggs, and the best thing about avocado egg sandwiches is that you can use any poultry egg just so long as it is fresh since fresh eggs mean more intact egg whites. If the egg is no longer new, there is a tendency that the egg will spread out too much when fried.
- Avocados: Fresh avocados are a must! Don't use bruised avocados because they are either too lumpy for the sandwich or have a sour note. Remember to use ripe ones but not those that are already way too ripe. Chopped or diced avocados will do well for the sandwich. However, smashed avocados will give more flavor and add a creamy texture to the mixture.
- Fresh Chives: Chives, preferably diced, will add color to the egg and will give a touch of onion flavor to the whole dish. Cooks commonly use chives to add flavor to eggs, and the sandwich will definitely need its magic for additional touches.
- Butter: What is better than using butter to achieve a buttery egg? Butter will help the egg cooks evenly, and most of all, it will serve as the trigger pulled for the creamy filling texture of the sandwich. The butter may also be splattered all over the surface of the bread, depending on one's choice.
- Olive Oil: The purpose of olive oil in this recipe is not to help to fry the eggs. We use olive oil to give a smooth and silky texture to the avocado. The combination of olive oil and avocado will surely improve one's health.
- Lime Juice: It will add another exquisite flavor to the avocado.
- Sriracha Sauce: This sauce is one of the most common hot and chili sauces. Sriracha sauce will help in enhancing the accompanying condiment of the Avocado Egg Sandwich.
- Salt and pepper: The sandwich will seem a bit bland without the presence of salt and pepper. The best seasoning for the avocado egg sandwich is certainly salt and pepper.
How to Make Avocado Egg Sandwich?
- In a mixing bowl, add avocado, olive oil, lime juice, chives, salt and pepper, mix and smash using a fork until slightly smooth.
- In a medium-size skillet, melt the butter, then crack the eggs carefully (don't baste the yolks); cook the eggs for 1-2 minutes. Once the eggs are fully cooked, turn off the heat.
- Now, add 2-3 tablespoons of the avocado mixture on one slice of the bread, top with one or two eggs and a few drops of sriracha sauce, then add the other slice of the bread.
Top Tips!
- Don't just slice nor dice the avocados; smash them to provide a creamy texture.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper before frying them.
- If the bread is too soft, splatter it with butter and put it on heat until the crust is golden brown.
Recipe Variations
- There are many ways one can make an egg sandwich. Instead of fried eggs, smashed-boiled eggs will do well too.
- Although chives are common ingredients in the kitchen, not everyone has access to it; omitting them from the recipe will not change the taste of the sandwich at all.
- Add some slices of tomatoes, bell pepper, onion or lettuce.
Serving Suggestions
Fresh orange juice will undoubtedly compliment the Avocado Egg Sandwich for breakfast. The pair will serve best even for brunch. You can serve this sandwich also with fries.
Recipe FAQs
Sliced tomatoes, lettuce or rocket, will go well with avocado and egg.
Scrambled, sunny-side up, or boiled eggs will all be just as tasty for the sandwich. The choice is for the maker to make.
No. Sriracha Sauce is only present to boost the flavor of the sandwich. The avocado sandwich will retain its yummy taste even with the absence of the Sriracha Sauce.
Use any kind of bread you like such as, white bloomer, pitta, whole wheat, sourdough or Artisan Bread.
Eggs and avocado together taste amazing! So good. They are also a healthy choice for a breakfast sandwich.
