Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 1 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

Cook’s Note

Double the recipe to make two sandwiches, which would increase the avocado to one full avocado versus a half. You can also use one full avocado on one sandwich if you are like me and love avocados!

You can substitute sourdough bread for the Italian bread if desired.

American cheese can be used in place of Cheddar cheese.
