The BEST Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwich
Description
The BEST Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwich features two slices of toasted multigrain bread spread with a mayonnaise and Sriracha mix for gentle heat. A fried egg cooked with a set white and a runny or firm yolk is placed on top of mashed avocado that's been seasoned with lime juice and kosher salt. The sandwich is finished with fresh cilantro and finely diced red onion, adding herbal and pungent notes.
The combination of creamy avocado, spiced mayo, and a tender egg yields a complex texture with softness and slight crispness from toasted bread. The lime juice brightens the richness, balancing the flavors. This sandwich serves as a filling morning meal that can be customized by adjusting egg doneness or amount of sauce.
It is designed to be eaten fresh to enjoy the contrast between warm egg and cool avocado. The flexibility in ingredient amounts lets cooks tailor spice and herb intensity. This approachable sandwich suits those looking for a flavorful meat-free breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 lices multigrain bread toasted
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon butter olive oil can also be used
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup avocado (about 1/2 of a small avocado)
- 1 teaspoon cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon red onion finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice from a small wedge
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise (1 tablespoon) and Sriracha (1/2 teaspoon) together. Set aside.
- Melt the butter (1/2 tablespoon) in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the egg carefully into the pan so the yolk doesn't break (see notes). Turn the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet, cooking the egg for about 2 minutes, or until whites are set and yolk is done to the desired consistency.
- Meanwhile, spread the Sriracha mayo mixture on the two slices of toasted bread.
- Using a spoon, scoop the avocado from the peel and add to one slice of bread. Use a fork to mash the avocado evenly onto the bread.
- Squeeze the lime juice (from 1 wedge) on top of the avocado and top with kosher salt to taste.
- Place the egg on top of the avocado.
- Sprinkle the cilantro (1 teaspoon) and red onion (1 teaspoon) on top of the egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the other piece of bread on top of the assembled sandwich.
- Eat! With a napkin- it gets messy.
