Do you already have your menu planned for the weekend? Well, secretly I hope you don’t because I want you need to add the ingredients for this breakfast sandwich to your grocery list. You’ll do it, right?
I have been making this sandwich again and again over the past two weeks and decided it’s probably time to share them with all of you. Heck, just look at them…what’s not to love?
Just this morning I shoved one into the hands of my oldest son as he was running out the door. Turns out it’s perfect school bus food too. Lucky him.
The ingredients are simple and you probably already have most of them at home.
My main inspiration for this recipe were my beautiful California avocados. There is rarely a day that goes by that I don’t enjoy an avocado with one of my meals or as a snack. They truly are nature’s butter and require nothing to make them an amazing and healthy treat. Avocados are one of the few fruits that provide good fats in our diet (3 g of mono and 0.5 g polyunsaturated fat per 1-oz. serving) and are heart healthy.
And don’t be afraid to buy extra avocados and keep them in your fridge. I store mine in the crisper drawer and they keep for weeks. This means I always have a ripe avocado to use when I’m ready…which is daily.
After you scramble your eggs, place them on top of your toasted bagels and sprinkle with shredded cheese. It will melt nicely on top of the hot eggs.
The whole bacon, egg and avocado trifecta is an amazing combination. I can’t think of a better way to start my day. However, I must admit these little sandwiches are not just limited to breakfast. They make the perfect lunch and dinner too.
It’s going to be hard to eat just one…fair warning.
Cheesy Egg, Avocado and Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2-3 mini bagels, toasted with butter
- 4 large eggs, scrambled (seasoned with salt & pepper to taste)
- 3-4 slices crispy cooked bacon
- 1/3 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 California avocado, halved and pitted
- juice of one lime
Directions
- Once bagels are toasted and eggs are scrambled, remove avocado from it's skin and smash together with the juice of one lime. (this adds a tangy flavor and keeps the avocado from turning brown.)
- Place scrambled eggs on the bottom halves of the toasted bagels and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Place smashed avocado on top of the cheese and top with bacon slices and the other half of the bagel. Serve immediately.

I know Sheila, we are that family too. But on busy weekdays or slower weekends it’s always the perfect meal. So glad we saw each other in Puerto Rico this past year…so random!

I am in heaven! There is nothing I’d rather eat than this for any meal of the day. I love that there are mini bagels too, what a great idea. I also love California Avocados. We gobble them up in our house.
Nicole says
I would love to start every day with one of these breakfast sandwiches. And everything is better with CA Avocados!!!!
Theresa @DearCreatives says
This looks simply delicious with the addition of avocados. I could be a little bias living in CA where they are grown.
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
WAIT WHAT, I can keep them fresh in my crisp drawer?! YES! I always want an avocado, because I am obsessed, but then I never seem to have one.
I adore California Avocados, so I foresee a lot of this goodness in my breakfasts to come! Pinned!
