Ingredients

Step 1: Toast the Bun
Spread butter on both cut sides of 1 hot dog bun. Place the bun in a skillet over medium heat and toast until golden brown and lightly crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
Scoop 2 small avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork.
Add ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl and whisk until combined.
Melt a small amount of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently scramble with a spatula until fluffy and cooked to your liking.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
Place the toasted hot dog bun on a serving plate.
Spread the mashed avocado generously over the inside of the bun.
Spoon the warm scrambled eggs over the avocado.
Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded cheese over the scrambled eggs.
Step 5: Melt the Cheese
Allow the heat from the scrambled eggs to melt the cheese.
If needed, microwave the assembled sandwich for 20–30 seconds, just until the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Serve
Serve immediately with salsa on the side.
For a little extra kick, add Spicy Mayo to the sandwich before serving.

Use ripe avocados that give slightly when gently pressed. If they're too firm, they won't mash smoothly; if they're overly soft or browned inside, the flavor can overpower the eggs. For an extra-loaded sandwich, don't be afraid to pile it high -the creamy avocado is what makes this breakfast sandwich so good!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of bread for this breakfast sandwich?

Absolutely! A hot dog bun makes this sandwich fun and easy to eat, but you can also use a hoagie roll, brioche bun, English muffin, bagel, or thick slices of toasted bread.
What kind of cheese works best with avocado and eggs?

Cheddar, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack all work well. Use your favorite shredded cheese or whatever you already have in the refrigerator.
How do I know when an avocado is ripe enough to use?

A ripe avocado should give slightly when gently pressed without feeling mushy. If it's very firm, give it another day or two to ripen before using it.
Can I make this breakfast sandwich ahead of time?

It's best made fresh because cut avocado can brown and the toasted bun will soften. You can scramble the eggs ahead of time, then reheat them and prepare the avocado and toasted bun just before assembling.
What can I add to my avocado and egg breakfast sandwich?

Try crispy bacon, breakfast sausage, sliced tomatoes, sautéed onions, jalapeños, spinach, or even a fried egg. Salsa or spicy mayo are also great ways to change up the flavor.
