Green Chile Avocado Breakfast Sandwich
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread (or a toasted English muffin)
2 slices of bacon
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon red chile seasoning
1 slice of cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your choice)
1/2 avocado, mashed
2 tablespoons roasted green chile, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lime juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
Prepare the Bacon:
In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy.
Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Make the Green Chile Avocado Spread:
In a small bowl, mash the avocado.
Mix in chopped green chile, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Cook the Egg:
In the same pan, heat butter or oil over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the pan and season with red chile seasoning.
Cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still slightly runny, or to your desired doneness.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Toast the bread or English muffin.
Spread the green chile avocado mixture on one side.
Place the cheese slice on the bottom half, followed by the fried egg and crispy bacon.
Top with the other slice of bread.

Notes:
Bread Choice – Use a sturdy bread like a toasted brioche bun, sourdough, or an English muffin to hold the ingredients well.
Green Chile Heat Level – Adjust the amount of green chile based on your spice preference. Roasted Hatch green chiles work great for a bold flavor.
Egg Texture – A runny yolk adds extra richness, but you can cook the egg fully if preferred.
Cheese Options – Cheddar, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack work well for a melty and flavorful addition.
Make-Ahead Tip – Prepare the avocado-green chile spread in advance to save time in the morning. Add a little lime juice to prevent browning.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different type of bread for this sandwich?
Yes! You can use sourdough, whole wheat, ciabatta, or even a bagel for a different texture and flavor.
How can I make this sandwich less spicy?
Use mild green chile instead of hot, and reduce or omit the red chile seasoning on the egg.
You can also add more avocado to balance the heat.
Can I make the avocado spread ahead of time?
Yes, but to prevent browning, mix in a little lime or lemon juice and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day.
What cheese works best for this sandwich?
Cheddar, pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or even a mild queso fresco pair well with the flavors of bacon and green chile.
Can I make this sandwich vegetarian?
Absolutely! Skip the bacon or replace it with a plant-based alternative.
You can also add sautéed mushrooms or extra avocado for a hearty bite.
How do I cook the bacon so it’s crispy?
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy.
You can also bake it at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes on a lined baking sheet for even crispiness.
What’s the best way to fry the egg with red chile seasoning?
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little butter or oil, then crack the egg in.
Sprinkle the red chile seasoning while the egg cooks.
For a runny yolk, cook for about 2-3 minutes or flip for an over-easy egg.
How do I make a smooth avocado spread?
Mash ripe avocado with a fork, then mix in finely chopped green chile, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lime juice for a creamy, flavorful spread. Blend for an even smoother texture.
How can I melt the cheese properly on the sandwich?
Place the cheese on the hot egg right before assembling, or add the assembled sandwich to a warm skillet for a minute with a lid on top to help it melt.
Can I prepare any ingredients ahead of time?
Yes! You can cook the bacon and make the avocado spread in advance.
Store the bacon in the fridge and reheat it when ready.
The avocado spread can be refrigerated with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent browning.
