Ingredients

  • 8 slices Bacon cooked*
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 large Hass avocados ripe
  • 2 green onions finely chopped (both white and green parts)
  • 3 tablespoons plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
  • sliced tomatoes for serving
  • fresh spinach for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the bacon (try one of my easy methods listed below). Set aside.
  2. Next, hard boil the eggs. In a small pot, bring just enough water to cover the eggs to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and gently lower the eggs in with a slotted spoon. Bring water to a low, rumbling boil, then let cook for 9 minutes. A few minutes before the eggs are finished cooking, prepare an ice bath. Remove the eggs from the boiling water and plunge into the cold water.
  3. Let rest a few minutes, then tap the eggs with the back of a spoon to crack them (this will make peeling easier). Return to the ice water to cool completely. Peel the eggs, then cut in half and discard the yolks from 3 whole eggs (6 halves), so that you have 2 whole eggs and 3 with egg whites only. Roughly chop and place into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Halve and pit the avocados, then with your knife, gently make a criss-cross pattern to divide the flesh into squares.
  5. Scoop the flesh into the mixing bowl, leaving the avocado in chunks. Add the chopped green onions, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the bowl.
  6. Fold together, leaving the eggs and avocado chunky.
  7. Toast the bread, then assemble the sandwiches with bacon, avocado egg salad, sliced tomatoes, and spinach. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • *Easy bacon cooking methods: Air Fryer Bacon and Oven Baked Bacon.
  • TO STORE: Leftover avocado egg salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 additional day. To prevent browning, press a sheet of plastic wrap against the surface.
  • TO FREEZE: I do not recommend freezing avocado egg salad. When frozen and thawed, hard-boiled eggs tend to become tough and rubbery in texture.
