This is the perfect combination of creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs, buttery avocado, and crisp, fresh vegetables, all layered between golden, toasted slices of bread. It’s simple yet indulgent, versatile enough to serve as a quick breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or even a light dinner.
The richness of the eggs and avocado balances beautifully with the crunch of lettuce and the juiciness of fresh tomatoes, delivering a sandwich that’s both healthy and irresistibly delicious. Packed with protein, fibre, and healthy fats, this recipe is as nourishing as it is easy to make.
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Season with a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil for extra creaminess. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil or use a dry pan if you prefer less fat. Toast each slice of bread until golden brown and crisp, flipping once for even toasting. For an extra crunch, you can lightly butter the bread before toasting. Set aside. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
Add a splash of milk (optional) and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and airy. Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds without stirring. Gently fold the eggs using a spatula, bringing the cooked edges toward the centre.
Repeat until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and remove from the heat immediately to avoid overcooking. Lay out the toasted bread slices. On one slice, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (if using) or butter for added flavour.
Add a layer of crisp lettuce leaves, followed by a few tomato slices. Spoon half of the scrambled eggs over the tomatoes, spreading them evenly. Take a second slice of toast and spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on one side. Place this slice, avocado-side down, on top of the scrambled eggs.
Repeat the layering process: lettuce, tomato, and the remaining scrambled eggs. Top with the final slice of bread. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the sandwich into halves or quarters for easy handling. Secure each section with a toothpick if needed.
Serve immediately with your favourite sides like potato chips, a mixed salad, or fruit slices.
Expert Tips for Success;
Achieving Creamy Eggs: Cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently and frequently. Remove from heat while they’re still slightly undercooked; the residual heat will finish the job.
Prevent Soggy Layers: Pat the lettuce and tomato slices dry with a paper towel before adding them to the sandwich.
Perfectly Toasted Bread: To ensure an even golden crust, toast the bread on medium heat and keep an eye on it to avoid burning. Adding a tiny pat of butter during toasting enhances the flavour.
Maximizing Avocado Freshness: Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the mashed avocado to keep it from browning.
Customization Ideas and Variations;
Add Protein: Include slices of turkey, ham, or crispy bacon for an extra layer of flavour and protein.
Go Vegetarian: Add grilled or roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or eggplant for more texture and nutrition.
Dairy-Free Option: Use plant-based butter for the eggs and skip the mayonnaise. Avocado adds enough creaminess on its own.
Spice It Up: Add a dash of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs or sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mashed avocado for a spicy kick.
Bread Alternatives: For a healthier option, use whole-grain bread or gluten-free bread.
Serving Suggestions;
Pair this sandwich with a fresh green salad topped with a light vinaigrette to balance the creaminess.
Serve alongside roasted sweet potato fries or a hearty soup for a filling meal.
For a refreshing drink pairing, try iced tea, lemonade, or a fruit smoothie.
Storage, Reheating, and Make-Ahead Tips;
Storage: Wrap the fully assembled sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. Best consumed within 1 day for maximum freshness.
Reheating: If stored separately, reheat the scrambled eggs in a skillet on low heat until just warm. Avoid reheating the assembled sandwich to maintain its texture.
Make-Ahead: Prepare the scrambled eggs and mashed avocado in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Assemble the sandwich just before serving.
