A satisfying morning stack with avocado, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg on golden toasted bread.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread & Spreads
01 - 4 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or brioche)
02 - 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for toasting
→ Proteins
03 - 4 slices bacon or turkey bacon
04 - 2 large eggs
→ Dairy
05 - 2 slices cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese
→ Vegetables
06 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced
07 - 1 small tomato, sliced
08 - 1 handful baby spinach or arugula
→ Seasonings
09 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
# Directions:
01 - Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5–6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
02 - Wipe the skillet clean and melt half the butter. Toast bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
03 - Add remaining butter to the skillet if needed. Fry eggs to your preference (sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper.
04 - While eggs cook, place one cheese slice on two of the toasted bread slices. The residual heat will slightly melt the cheese.
05 - Top each cheese-topped slice with 2 bacon strips, sliced avocado, tomato, and spinach or arugula if using.
06 - Place a cooked egg on each stack, then crown with the remaining toasted bread slices. Cut in half for easier eating if desired.
07 - Serve immediately while eggs are warm and bread is crisp.
