Pin There's something magical about a perfectly constructed breakfast stack - and this Sourdough Avocado BLT with a runny egg on top might just be the pinnacle of morning indulgence. The combination of crusty sourdough, creamy avocado, crispy bacon, fresh vegetables, and that glorious egg creates a symphony of flavors and textures that will energize your morning and satisfy even the heartiest appetite.
Pin This breakfast stack takes the classic BLT sandwich and elevates it with two breakfast staples - avocado and eggs. The crispy bacon provides a satisfying crunch and smoky flavor, while the creamy avocado brings richness and the runny egg creates a natural sauce that ties everything together. It's a perfect weekend treat that feels special without requiring complicated techniques.
Ingredients
- 2 large slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for toasting)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 cup mixed greens (e.g., arugula, baby spinach)
- 4 slices smoked bacon (substitute with vegetarian bacon if desired)
- 2 large eggs
- Fresh chives, chopped (optional)
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the bacon
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Step 2: Toast the bread
- While bacon cooks, lightly butter both sides of the sourdough slices. Toast in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
- Step 3: Prepare avocado spread
- In a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Step 4: Assemble the base
- Spread mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough.
- Step 5: Add toppings
- Layer each slice with mixed greens, tomato slices, and crispy bacon.
- Step 6: Cook the eggs
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3–4 minutes.
- Step 7: Complete the stack
- Carefully slide one egg onto each stack.
- Step 8: Garnish and serve
- Garnish with chopped chives and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs, use a nonstick pan and cook over medium-low heat. The slower cooking allows the whites to set completely while keeping the yolk runny. If you prefer your eggs less runny, you can cover the pan with a lid for the last minute of cooking to help set the top of the egg without having to flip it.
Varianten und Anpassungen
This versatile breakfast stack can be customized in many ways. For a vegetarian version, simply substitute the bacon with plant-based bacon alternatives. You can add a slice of your favorite cheese like cheddar or Swiss between the avocado and vegetables. For additional flavor, consider adding a spread of pesto or hot sauce to the avocado layer.
Serviervorschläge
Serve this breakfast stack immediately while the egg is still warm and runny. Pair it with a side of roasted potatoes for a hearty weekend brunch, or with fresh fruit for a lighter option. For a complete meal, add a small side salad or a cup of soup. This dish works well for both intimate breakfasts and impressive brunch gatherings.
