MORNING GLORY SANDWICH
Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Egg and Avocado
4 slices TexasToast or thick bread (toasted)
6 slices thick-sliced bacon (applewood is best)
1 medium tomato, sliced
1 avocado, sliced *** (tip to slice avocados is below)
2 eggs
lettuce (iceburg, Bibb or ruffled)
1 tsp Dijonmustard
3 tsp mayonnaise (I like with olive oil)
salt & pepper to taste
In frying pan, cook bacon until done (we like it crispy) ~ remove from pan and set aside. Fry the eggs in the bacon drippings as you like it (sunny-side-up or over-easy). Season to taste with salt & pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the mustard and mayonnaise. Spread some of the mayo mixture on all 4 pieces of toast. Now layer your sandwich: I like to put a few pieces of lettuce on the bottom; then the tomato; then the avocado; then the egg; then the bacon; and top with another piece of lettuce (this seems to keep the bread from getting too soggy and holds the other ingredients in place) ~ but you can layer as you like it. Cut each sandwich in half and ENJOY! I recommend a toothpick to hold the 2nd 1/2-sandwich together while you eat … makes 2 thick sandwiches
*** HINT: To slice your avocado ~ cut it in half (the seed will be in one half). Hold the half with the seed in your hand and smack the knife into the seed, which should pull out on the knife. Now, slice the avocado in the skin. Then, using a spoon, scoop around the inside of the skin. The slices should just fall out.
