Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon (cooked*)
- 5 large eggs
- 2 large Hass avocados (ripe)
- 2 g reen onions (finely chopped (both white and green parts))
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
- Sliced tomatoes (for serving)
- Fresh spinach (for serving)
Steps
-
Cook the bacon (try one of my easy methods listed below). Set aside.
-
Next, hard boil the eggs. In a small pot, bring just enough water to cover the eggs to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and gently lower the eggs in with a slotted spoon. Bring water to a low, rumbling boil, then let cook for 9 minutes. A few minutes before the eggs are finished cooking, prepare an ice bath. Remove the eggs from the boiling water and plunge into the cold water.
-
Let rest a few minutes, then tap the eggs with the back of a spoon to crack them (this will make peeling easier). Return to the ice water to cool completely. Peel the eggs, then cut in half and discard the yolks from 3 whole eggs (6 halves), so that you have 2 whole eggs and 3 with egg whites only. Roughly chop and place into a large mixing bowl.
-
Halve and pit the avocados, then with your knife, gently make a criss-cross pattern to divide the flesh into squares.
-
Scoop the flesh into the mixing bowl, leaving the avocado in chunks. Add the chopped green onions, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the bowl.
-
Fold together, leaving the eggs and avocado chunky.
-
Toast the bread, then assemble the sandwiches with bacon, avocado egg salad, sliced tomatoes, and spinach. Enjoy immediately.
