All you need are 5 ingredients to make this sandwich come together! It works well for any meal of the day and has an excellent combination of fats, carbs, fiber and protein to keep you full.
This was one of the recipes I made while at home. I even made the bread! Oh, the things you can do when you have some time on your hands. I have a few bread recipes that I have saved over the years (note the years, lol. Yes, some of the recipes I want to try have been hanging around on my bookmark tabs for a long time. Don’t judge. Ok, nevermind, you can totally judge if you want to.)
However, it also doesn’t help that I don’t really eat much bread. I don’t eat sandwiches all that often. So, it would take me awhile to get through a loaf of bread on my own. Therefore, I knew home would be the perfect opportunity to make something like this.
In case you are interested. I mostly, sort of followed this bread recipe I found at Pastry Affair. Honestly, I’ve never been good at following recipes. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m more of a use-a-recipe-as-inspiration and throw my own thing together. However, this bread turned out nutty and dense and super yummy. It was even a hit with all of my family members. It was all like:
The post is not about the bread, though. That little spin off was me loving that I actually had time to do something, well, time-consuming that wasn’t work related. Haha. The post is for the recipe itself since it was my-oh-my good and wouldn’t want you to miss out on it.
As stated in the recipe notes below, you can use any bread or “bread” that you want. If you have never tried making bread before, the recipe above does not take a million hours, nor is very difficult, but I did have to add substantially more water, and left out a few grains…. If you want to try it out and want to know specifically what I changed, just let me know and I’d be happy to give you my input! The hardest part is waiting for all the steps to be complete. It’s all like:
As for the sandwich, smashing the avocado on the bread was the way I ended up preferring it and you want to make sure your cheese is melted! I ate this particular sandwich multiple times, but also tried it out with chicken, avocado, tomato and mustard and had a few slices of it heated and slathered with peanut butter. Major yum. I’m telling you, toasted bread and melty peanut butter is seriously my jam. [Hehe, no pun intended, or maybe just a little bit intended].
Have you ever tried making bread before?
Do you have recipes that you want to try, but just don’t have the time?
- Cook up your egg to your preference. Feel free to fold into an omelet with your cheese (as pictured) or to do them separately
- While your egg is cooking, slice your tomato and avocado
- Feel free to toast your bread, or once your egg is done, layer all your ingredients, eat and enjoy!
*Feel free to use any bread of your choosing. Alternatively, you can put it in a wrap if you want, or any "bread" substitute.
Linking up with deborah and sarah’s meatless monday and running on happy’s/the fit foodie mama’s meatless monday!
We recently started making our own bread-so delicious! Eggs, avocado and tomatoes is one of my go to breakfasts love the combo. Thanks for linking up today
Major props to you for making your own bread! That’s definitely a commitment, but it is so much tastier than the store bought stuff.
Yum! I’m so impressed that you even made the bread for the sandwich – I’m far too impatient make bread!
Haha thanks! I was excited to actually have some time on my hands. Im not very patient either, but this one wasn’t too bad. Easy when you’ve got other things to do during the day and can just go back and forth with it. It was not much work who iv was nice. I could have never done it though if it was the only thing I had going on, no way, I don’t have the patience for it lol.
