Egg and Avocado Sandwich

Making this sandwich is an easy, tasty, and healthy way to start your morning!

Ingredients

1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 small scallion, chopped

1 whole-wheat English muffin, split and toasted

Hot sauce (optional)

1/4 avocado, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Beat together egg and egg white; season with salt and pepper. In a small nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Cook scallion until softened, 1 minute. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until almost set, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold edges of egg mixture in to form a patty about the size of an English muffin. Continue to cook until set, about 20 seconds more.

  2. Place egg on bottom half of English muffin and season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce, if using. Layer with avocado, then other half of muffin.

  1. This looks like the perfect use of both eggs and avocados. The pair have become a breakfast favorite and a staple at our table. We enjoy our eggs soft boiled and pair chopped and gussied up with a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of pepper sauce and a sprinkling of sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. With a side of toast, it's the perfect start to our day!
