This Avocado and Egg Open-Faced Sandwich combines the creamy texture of ripe avocado with perfectly hard-boiled eggs, all served atop a slice of toasted whole grain or sourdough bread for a delightful crunch.

Ingredients:

For the Sandwich:

  • 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread, toasted
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs, hard-boiled and sliced
  • A handful of fresh spinach leaves or baby greens
  • Fresh herbs like dill or chives for garnish (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For Garnish (optional):

  • Edible flowers or micro greens for decoration

Instructions:

Prepare the Eggs:

  • Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a saucepan, covering with water, bringing to a boil, then covering and removing from heat for about 10-12 minutes. Cool under cold water, peel, and slice into rounds.

Toast the Bread:

  • Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness.

Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Start with a base of fresh spinach leaves or baby greens on each slice of toasted bread.
  • Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it thinly and layer it on top of the greens.
  • Arrange the slices of hard-boiled egg on top of the avocado. Season with a pinch of salt and a good amount of freshly ground black pepper.

Garnish:

  • Add fresh herbs like dill or chives for a pop of color and flavor. If you want to make it extra special, as seen in the image, you can decorate with edible flowers or microgreens.

Serve:

  • Serve immediately while the toast is still warm. This dish makes for a nutritious and visually appealing breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!
