avocado bacon bread breakfast cheesy eggs fried grilled kid-friendly recipe sandwich

Grilled Fried Egg Sandwich with all the fixings

One of the earliest staples for my breakfast meals was a fried egg sandwich. They started with just a fried egg, some melted cheese and some toast with a little mayo, salt and pepper. I loved it that way for years, and then started switching it up a bit. One of my favorite things for breakfast is a breakfast burrito or sandwich and my husband still requests an “egg sandwich original,” which is what I call that original version of this sandwich.

Sometimes you just get tired of the original way, and want something a little different. As I mentioned in my breakfast pita post, nothing compares to egg, bacon and avocado with breakfast. So once again those ingredients are the star with this sandwich. It’s similar to a grilled cheese, with fried egg and my other breakfast favorites. My husband likes these with 2 fried eggs and a few shakes of hot sauce. However you like it, they’re 100% delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • one egg
  • one slice cheese (I use traditional Kraft American Singles, you can use any cheese you prefer)
  • 1 large slice, thick cut bacon
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • mayonnaise
  • butter or margarine
  • salt & pepper
Directions:
Start by cooking your bacon. 
In a separate small pan, lightly spray and preheat over medium heat. Crack open your egg, and quickly break the yolk. Continue to cook for a few minutes over medium heat. 
Once the edges become a little solid start using your spatula to get under the egg to turn. Once it’s solid enough to turn, flip it over!
Once the egg is done, put your slice of cheese on, then turn off the heat. The pan and egg are still hot enough to melt the cheese.
While the cheese is melting, begin preparing the sandwich. Spread Mayonnaise on the inside of each slice of bread, slice the cooked bacon in half, then lay the avocado slices on top.
Now add your fried egg, with the melted cheese portion face down so it’s lying on the bacon.
Season, as desired, with salt and pepper.
(This is where I add those few shakes of hot sauce for the hubby)
Now spread butter or margarine on the outsides of the sandwich. You can pan fry it like a grilled cheese, or use a panini press. I’d love a panini press, but I just use my George Foreman grill.
I close the top and let it heat for a few minutes.
Once it’s done it’s a melted, toasted sandwich full of deliciousness! 
Cut and serve, I like to serve with fruit or my breakfast potatoes. Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
