Save Whether you're preparing a weekend brunch or a special weekday treat, this stack delivers a balanced mix of fresh greens, juicy tomatoes, and a perfectly set sunny-side-up egg that ties all the layers together.
Ingredients
- Bread & Spreads: 2 large slices sourdough bread, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 ripe avocado, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Vegetables & Greens: 1 medium tomato (sliced), 1 cup mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach).
- Bacon: 4 slices smoked bacon (or vegetarian alternative).
- Eggs: 2 large eggs.
- Garnish (optional): Fresh chopped chives, crushed red pepper flakes.
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep 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 Sourdough
- While bacon cooks, lightly butter both sides of the sourdough slices. Toast in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
- Step 3: Mash the Avocado
- In a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Step 4: Layer the Base
- Spread mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough. Layer each slice with mixed greens, tomato slices, and crispy bacon.
- Step 5: 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 6: Assemble and Serve
- Carefully slide one egg onto each stack. Garnish with chopped chives and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure the perfect stack, cook your eggs on medium-low heat to prevent the bottoms from burning before the whites set. For the crispest bacon, start it in a cold skillet and gradually bring up the heat.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegetarian-friendly version, simply substitute the smoked bacon with a plant-based bacon alternative. You can also add extra depth of flavor by including a slice of your favorite cheese or a spoonful of pesto on the sourdough.
