Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 2 fresh lettuce leaves
  • 3 tomato slices
  • 2 slices plant-based cheese
  • 2 eggs (cooked to your liking)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado spread
  • 3 slices smoked turkey slices
  • 2 slices whole grain sandwich bread
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional, for spreads or dressings)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Crisp the smoked turkey bacon in a pan over medium heat until browned and slightly crunchy. Cook eggs to your desired doneness (fried, scrambled, or poached). While eggs cook, slice tomatoes, wash lettuce, and spread avocado evenly.
  2. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the whole grain sandwich bread to add texture and prevent sogginess. Toasting enhances the bread’s natural nutty flavor.
  3. Layering Time: Spread a thin layer of avocado on one slice of toast, then add fresh lettuce leaves. Place smoked turkey bacon over the lettuce, followed by a slice of plant-based cheese. Add the cooked egg next, then layer tomato slices, smoked turkey slices, and drizzle vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) lightly. Top with the remaining bread slice to complete the sandwich.
  4. Press and Slice: Gently press the sandwich to meld the layers together, then slice it diagonally for easy handling. The sandwich is ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Layer Order Matters: Start with spreadable ingredients on the bread to keep layers together without sogginess.
  • Freshness is Key: Use ripe tomatoes and crisp lettuce for best flavor and texture contrast.
  • Customize Textures: Alternate crunchy veggies and smooth spreads for a pleasing mouthfeel.
  • Keep Ingredients Warm: Assemble shortly after cooking to enjoy optimal temperature and flavor.
  • Use Natural Gelling Agent Wisely: Incorporate into spreads for consistent texture without overpowering taste.
