Ingredients

4 slices of sourdough bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

2 large eggs

4 slices of crispy cooked bacon (or turkey bacon for a lighter option)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Handful of baby spinach leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: hot sauce for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, cook the eggs sunny side up or to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the outside of your sandwich.

Assemble the Sandwiches: On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, place a layer of cheddar cheese. Top with one slice of bacon, an egg, a few slices of avocado, a handful of baby spinach, and then another slice of cheddar cheese. Close with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Serve: Once both sides are golden and the cheese is gooey, remove the sandwiches from the heat. Cut them in half and serve immediately. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for an added kick!
