Healthy Caprese Breakfast Sandwich
Description
This sandwich begins with Dave's Killer Bread Organic English muffins toasted to a golden crisp. One half of each muffin is brushed with flaxseed or olive oil, while the other half is spread with ripe mashed avocado. Fresh mozzarella slices and tomato rounds are layered atop the avocado, then drizzled with balsamic glaze and seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
A cooked egg—whether fried, scrambled, poached, or hard-boiled—tops the vegetables, followed by thin slices of prosciutto and torn fresh basil leaves. The other muffin half completes the sandwich. The layering combines creamy avocado, mild mozzarella, juicy tomato, and savory prosciutto with the richness of the egg, harmonized by the sweet tang of balsamic glaze and herbal basil notes.
This sandwich is versatile, served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, making it suitable for meal prep or on-the-go breakfast. It provides balanced textures and flavors, from the crunch of toasted muffin to the softness of eggs and creaminess of avocado.
The notes suggest these sandwiches can be made ahead, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerated for up to three days, facilitating convenient breakfasts or packed meals.
