Start your day off right with this modern twist on a traditional dish…
This breakfast sandwich takes only 5 minutes to make, but gets it’s flavor from beautiful ingredients instead of relying on grease like most breakfast sandwiches.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- English muffins (or any time of bread-based sandwich builder)
- Eggs or egg whites
- Turkey
- Avocado
- Salsa
- Butter (optional)
- Frank’s Red Hot (optional)
- Provolone Cheese
- Sea Salt and Black Pepper
Breakfast Sandwich: options
BREAD
For the bread component, we like English Muffins because they tend to hold everything together well….and the multigrain varieties are nice and complex in flavor. Bread/toast, roll, bagel, etc works well too!
EGGS
I prefer egg whites to limit my fat content, but my partner prefers whole eggs … so it’s really up to you.
For whole eggs: I like to crack the eggs into the hot pan, then just sort of break the yolks right and fold them together before flipping them.
To make life easier, if you use a smaller skillet, you can fry the eggs without having to fold them over or break them up to fit in the sandwich.
This healthy breakfast sandwich is SOO much better than the grease-traps filled with bacon, butter, sausage, and loads of cheese…it satisfies without the guilt!
