- Bread & Spreads: 2 large slices sourdough bread, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 ripe avocado, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Vegetables & Greens: 1 medium tomato (sliced), 1 cup mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach).
- Bacon: 4 slices smoked bacon.
- Eggs: 2 large eggs.
- Garnish: Fresh chives (chopped), crushed red pepper flakes.
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Toast the Bread
- While bacon cooks, lightly butter both sides of the sourdough slices. Toast in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
- Prepare Avocado Mash
- In a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Stack
- Spread mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough. Layer each slice with mixed greens, tomato slices, and crispy bacon.
- Fry the Eggs
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3–4 minutes.
- Serve
- Carefully slide one egg onto each stack. Garnish with chopped chives and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure the eggs are perfect every time, use a nonstick skillet and cook them over medium-low heat. This allows the whites to set completely without browning the edges or overcooking the yolk.
