    avocado egg breakfast sandwich

    My boys love eggs. (Both my 7 and 5 year olds are now quite proficient at making scrambled eggs for breakfast.) They also love avocado. And English muffins. And chips and salsa. I took a risk in putting all these things together for a “breakfast for dinner” meal, and it was a big success. (Minus the chips, but I suppose you could add those if you wanted a little crunch in your ‘wich!) 2 of the 3 didn’t make any comment about the cilantro in the eggs. And the third said he’d try this new egg ‘without the green thing’…I’m calling that a success y’all.

    And this was a big winner with the adults as well. All the different flavors and textures make this a perfect ‘brinner’ meal, in our book.

    Here’s the skinny on the baking the eggs in muffin tin with the cilantro. (I wasn’t kidding about all the cilantro meals coming your way…)

    Avocado Egg Breakfast Sandwich

    Packed with flavor and filling!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time10 minutes
    Servings - 6 servings

    Ingredients 

    • Cilantro
    • 6 eggs
    • Salt and pepper
    • 6 English Muffins
    • 6 slices cheese (I used Monterrey Jack)
    • 6 Spoonfuls of Salsa
    • 1 avocado, mashed
    • Lemon or lime juice
    • Cilantro
    • Salt and pepper
    • Side of fresh fruit

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly spray 6 muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Add cilantro leaves to the bottom of each muffin cup, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Crack an egg into each muffin cup. Top with cilantro and salt and pepper.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the yoke has cooked through.
    • Meanwhile, combine the mashed avocado with lemon or lime juice, leftover chopped cilantro, salt and pepper, all to taste.
    • Assemble the sandwiches once the baked eggs are cooked. I layered mine like this - English muffin - avocado/guac - baked egg - salsa - slice cheese - English muffin.) Then place in the oven on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
    • Serve Avocado-Egg Breakfast Sandwich with side of fresh fruit.

      I love cilantro! We had it on our dinner table last night, too. And, avocado sandwiches are the best. I love them without the eggs & cheese, too : )

      I know this is a late question for this post, but have you tried freezing the eggs? They look yummy! I was hoping to make them and freeze them for quick and easy breakfasts on the go!

      I love this recipe, but are these US prices? Here in Australia eggs are at least $4.50 a dozen and usually $6 a dozen. I’m an ex-pt American and completely frustrated at how much food costs here but have no more income than I did in the US. Help!

      I freeze cooked eggs all the time, Mama Owl. I make breakfast sandwiches for my husband to take to work a month at a time 🙂

      Going to make these for dinner next week 🙂

      I you need a flatter or larger diameter egg, AND if you want the eggs to cook faster, try cooking the eggs in a jumbo muffin pan, or even a flatter “muffie” pan, both of which are made with 6 items per tray.
