Ingredients
- 2 slices low sodium turkey bacon
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 0.5 unit ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 slice red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the low sodium turkey bacon slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and add unsalted butter. Once melted, crack the large egg into the skillet. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. For a firmer yolk, gently flip the egg and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
While the egg is cooking, toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden and crisp.
Step 4
Mash the avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Add lemon juice to the avocado and mix well.
Step 5
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of toasted whole wheat bread.
Step 6
Layer fresh spinach leaves on top of the avocado, followed by a slice of red onion.
Step 7
Place the cooked low sodium turkey bacon on top of the spinach and onion.
Step 8
Add the cooked egg on top of the bacon. Finish with the remaining slice of toasted bread to complete the sandwich.
Step 9
Cut in half if desired and serve immediately while warm.
