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 garnish)
• Crushed red pepper flakes (optional garnish)

Instructions

Step 1

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

While bacon cooks, lightly butter both sides of the sourdough slices. Toast in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Spread mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough.

Step 5

Layer each slice with mixed greens, tomato slices, and crispy bacon.

Step 6

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

Carefully slide one egg onto each stack.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped chives and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the perfect runny yolk, use a nonstick skillet on medium-low heat and monitor the whites closely; they should be completely opaque while the center remains liquid. Buttering both sides of the sourdough ensures a uniform golden crunch that stands up to the heavy toppings.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegetarian version, simply substitute the traditional bacon with your favorite plant-based bacon. You can also elevate the flavor profile by adding a slice of sharp cheddar cheese or a dollop of fresh pesto over the avocado spread.

Serviervorschläge

This stack is quite filling on its own, but for a truly indulgent brunch, serve it alongside a portion of crispy roasted potatoes or a bowl of fresh seasonal fruit to balance the savory notes.
