Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 brioche bun
  • 1-2 slices Fontina cheese (1 ounce)
  • ½ cup fresh spinach
  • 1 small Roma tomato
  • ½ medium avocado -mashed with a fork
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. While the butter melts, beat the eggs with the salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, until just set. Transfer the eggs to a bowl.
  • Toast the brioche bun in a 350°F (177°C) oven or toaster oven until lightly golden.
  • Place the cheese on one half of the bun. Top with the eggs, spinach, and tomato slices. Spread the mashed avocado on the other half of the bun.
  • Close the sandwich, cut in half, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Prep Before You Start: This breakfast sandwich comes together quickly, so read through the recipe and ingredient notes and have everything ready before you begin.
  • Layer for Stability: Place the cheese on the warm bun first so it melts slightly, then add the eggs. The mashed avocado helps keep the tomatoes from sliding.
  • Clean Slices: For a neat cut, wrap the assembled sandwich in butcher paper and slice it in half with a serrated knife.
  • Alternate to Toasting: For extra richness and a crisp exterior, pan-fry the bread in a little butter instead of toasting it.
