A Better Egg Muffin Sandwich

Published: Dec 18, 2014 · Modified: Oct 16, 2020 by greenlitebitescom · This post may contain affiliate links · 9 Comments

Six years ago -- insert Holy Crap I'm old and I've been blogging far too long joke here -- I shared my favorite way to turn a hard boiled egg into a quick sandwich. It's something I still make pretty regularly but this morning I decided to step it up a little by adding avocado, spinach and bacon.

Better Egg Muffin SandwichThe result was fan- (I really want to curse) -tabulous!

So simple, so tasty and it took literally minutes to pull together.

Here's what I did...

  • 1 whole wheat English muffin
  • ¼ of an avocado
  • Handful of raw spinach
  • 1 slice of cooked bacon, cut in half
  • 1 hard boiled egg, sliced -- Click here to see how I make mine. 
  • Salt and pepper

Toast the English muffin. While it's toasting, cut the avocado. I make two slices and remove a quarter of it, leaving the rest intact, seed and all. Then I store it in a zip-lock bag with the air sucked out. 

Peel off the avocado skin and smear on the bottom of the toasted English muffin.

Voila!

Better Egg Muffin Sandwich - Done!

According to Nutrition Data, this sandwich is a good source of protein, vitamin A, folate, phosphorus and selenium, and a very good source of vitamin K and manganese. It's also super filling with its fat, fiber and protein content.

I think I found my new favorite breakfast!

    If you boil the egg just for 5 minutes so the white is set but the yolk is half runny, the combination of yolk and avocado is just heaven. Thanks Roni for the brilliant ideas.

    yum! I will have to do that. I love avocado toast. I love hard boiled eggs on toast. Why did I never think of combining?!?

      I didn't think I'd like avocado on it but I did! Avocado has really grown on me over the last year. I went from hater to looking for ways to eat it.
