How to Make Avocado Sandwich

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 1 | Course: Breakfast

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• • • 2 large eggs (for poaching)
    • 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or brioche)
    • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 minced garlic clove)
    • 1 ounce Swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese)
    • ½ ripe avocado, sliced
    • Pinch of salt and black pepper

Optional Add-Ons:

• • • Lettuce & tomato 
    • Bacon 
    • Guacamole or sriracha mayo

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Poach the Egg

Fill a medium saucepan with water and heat it over medium-high heat until it’s just below boiling. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Once the water reaches the right temperature, create a whirlpool by stirring it with a spoon. Gently drop the egg in the center and let it cook for four minutes. Using a slotted spoon from our teak wood utensils set, carefully remove the poached egg and set it aside on a plate.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter Toast

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic powder or freshly minced garlic. Using the small spatula from the silicone spatula set, evenly spread the butter mixture on both slices of bread. Toast the bread in a pan over medium heat until golden brown, or bake it at 375°F (190°C) for about five minutes until it turns crisp and slightly golden.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich

Start by placing the warm Swiss cheese onto one slice of toasted bread. Layer on fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and creamy avocado. Carefully place the poached egg on top, allowing the yolk to remain slightly runny for extra flavor.Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the sandwich. Finally, top with the second slice of garlic butter toast and press lightly. Now, take a bite and enjoy the creamy, crispy, garlicky goodness!

Pro Tips for the Best Avocado Sandwich:

• Use thick bread like sourdough or multigrain for better texture.
• Make sure your avocado is ripe—it should feel slightly soft when squeezed.
• For extra crunch, toast the bread in a pan with a little olive oil.

Healthy Variations to Try:

• Protein Boost: Adding grilled chicken or smoked salmon is a fantastic way to boost the protein content while keeping the flavors fresh and delicious. Grilled chicken adds a hearty, savory bite that pairs beautifully with creamy avocado and crisp lettuce. 
• Low-Carb: Try a grain-free tortilla made from almond flour, coconut flour, or cassava flour. These gluten-free and low-carb options still give you that sandwich feel while keeping carbs to a minimum. 
• Dairy-Free: Skip the cheese or use vegan alternatives. Many plant-based cheeses melt beautifully and provide a deliciously rich taste that pairs well with avocado.

Other Kitchen Tools You’ll Need:

• • Wire Cheese Slicer – Achieve perfectly even, thin slices of cheese every time with a wire cheese slicer. This tool makes slicing soft or hard cheeses effortless, ensuring you get the perfect amount of Swiss cheese for your sandwich without any mess.
  • Garlic Rocker – Save time and energy with a garlic rocker. This nifty tool crushes garlic cloves quickly and evenly, releasing all the aromatic oils and flavors you need for that delicious garlic butter spread. No more peeling and chopping—just rock it and you're done!
  • Bread Knife – A serrated bread knife is essential for slicing through the toasted bread without crushing it. Its sharp, jagged edges glide through the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Avocado Sandwich

Can I meal prep this sandwich?

Yes! To keep everything fresh, store the garlic butter toast, avocado slices, and poached egg separately in the fridge.Assemble the sandwich fresh when you’re ready to eat. The poached egg is best eaten immediately, but boiled eggs work great for meal prep.

What’s the best bread for this sandwich?

Sourdough, whole wheat, and brioche are excellent choices. Sourdough provides a chewy texture, whole wheat adds a hearty bite, and brioche offers a slightly sweet and buttery taste. Avoid using soft white sandwich bread, as it can become too soggy when paired with avocado.

Can I use a fried egg instead of poached?

Absolutely! If you prefer a firmer egg, fry it over easy or medium in a pan with a little butter or olive oil. This will adda crispy edge to your sandwich while still maintaining a deliciously runny yolk for extra richness.

How can I make this sandwich spicy?

For some heat, add crushed red pepper flakes, sliced jalapeños, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo. A touch of hot honey or smoked paprika also enhances the flavors while keeping the spice level balanced.

What cheese pairs best with avocado?

Swiss cheese melts beautifully and has a mild flavor that complements avocado. Other great options include cheddar, feta, goat cheese, or pepper jack for a bit of spice. If you love creaminess, fresh mozzarella is a fantastic addition to this sandwich.

How do I keep avocados from turning brown?

To keep the avocado fresh, squeeze lemon or lime juice over the slices before storing them in an airtight container. This slows oxidation and keeps the avocado from browning too quickly. If storing longer, keep the pit in the container to help maintain freshness.
