Bacon, Egg and Avocado Sandwich
We traveled to Oklahoma on Friday night for the Oklahoma/West Virginia football game. We stayed up late that evening, drinking champagne, chatting and catching up, then we hit the ground running early Saturday, heading out for tailgating before noon and braving the 90°+ degree heat for hours. After (secretly) cheering for my parents’ alma mater without drawing attention to myself in a sea of Sooner fans and audibly cheering for a good game, we called it a night, and we hit the hay after packing up all the tailgate gear and moseying on home. Then we drove home early Sunday morning.
It was such a lovely time, and I’m so thankful we had the opportunity to trek to Oklahoma because we had a blast. And as a big football fan, it was fun seeing how another school’s fans tailgate, as well as experience their stadium. And when I say the red and white striping at the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium was stunning, I mean it was awesome and something I’ve never seen at my own college stadium before.
However, I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck after this whirlwind of a weekend, and I napped for a good four hours once we arrived back home yesterday afternoon.
I’m treating today as another recovery day for me, and while I’d like to think I have significantly more energy than I did yesterday, the reality of the situation is that I’m still struggling… and today calls for a sandwich like this.
The inspiration for this sandwich was a random one, and the creation of it came about when I had a pack of bacon, an avocado and several eggs, as well as some homemade bread, in my fridge… and I was hungry.
Funny how sudden hunger can come into play for a simple sandwich like this one, but when the idea hit, I knew I needed to make it… and I’ve made several ever since because it’s a little bit indulgent, but oh-so-satisfying.
Here’s how you make it:
Bacon, Egg and Avocado Sandwich
The Bacon, Egg and Avocado Sandwich makes a delightful breakfast, lunch or dinner sandwich! Bacon is fried in a pan, then layered onto toasted bread. Slice an avocado and place on top of the bacon. Season the egg with salt and pepper, and fry in the leftover bacon fat to the desired texture. When the egg is cooked, add to the sandwich and top with another slice of toast. This sandwich is messy, so enjoy warm with lots of napkins!
Ingredients
- ¼ to ½ avocado, sliced
- 2 strips cooked bacon
- 4 tablespoons Garlic Herb Butter, divided
- 2 slices bread
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a pan, fry up your bacon until cooked through over medium heat. Remove from the pan and pat dry with a paper towel. (You may also bake the bacon in the oven.)
- Melt half of the butter in the pan.
- Toast the bread in the pan in the butter. Remove when golden brown.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the pan.
- Crack the egg into the pan, and fry to your desired consistency. (I fry mine for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute.)
- Once the egg and bacon are done cooking, slice the avocado and place onto the toasted bread.
- Layer the bacon on top of the avocado slices, then add the egg on top.
- Cut in half, and enjoy immediately.

that sounds so delicious. i’ll have to make it soon 🙂
This looks great. Days powered by avocado (and bacon, let’s get real) tend to be pretty awesome, too.
This looks mouthwatering! I always love a good sandwich and this one looks right up my alley.
I was picturing hard-boiled egg from the title of this post, but I think that beautiful fried egg and dripping yolk are an even better plan with avocado and bacon! NOM. 🙂
