Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup baby spinach
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the butter to coat the skillet evenly.
Step 4
Pour in the whisked egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, just until the eggs begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6
While the eggs are in the oven, cook the sausage in another pan over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork, then mix in the hot sauce, adding more to taste if desired.
Step 8
Remove the egg and cheese round from the oven. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut it into 4 equal portions.
Step 9
To assemble the sandwiches, place a layer of baby spinach on each egg portion, followed by a generous spoonful of cooked sausage and a dollop of the spicy avocado mixture.
Step 10
Top with the remaining egg portions to complete each sandwich.
Step 11
Serve immediately, and enjoy a delicious low-carb start to your day!
