2️⃣Grilled Breakfast Club Sandwich
Ingredients
2 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough or country white)
1–2 tsp butter, softened
1 large egg
2–3 slices turkey or chicken breast
2–3 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
1 slice cheddar or American cheese
¼ ripe avocado, sliced or lightly mashed
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: pinch paprika or chili flakes
Instructions
1. Cook the bacon
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels and set aside.
2. Cook the egg
In the same pan (wipe excess grease if needed), cook egg sunny-side up or over-easy so the yolk stays runny. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Toast the bread (inside first)
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat and toast until golden. Remove — this toasted side will be the inside.
4. Assemble the sandwich
On the toasted side of one slice, layer:
Cheese
Turkey or chicken
Crispy bacon
Avocado
Egg
Top with second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
5. Grill the sandwich
Cook over medium-low heat, pressing gently. Grill 3–4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is fully melted.
6. Slice & serve
Rest 30–60 seconds, slice in half, and enjoy that yolk drip 🤤

Sandwich

Form beef into 2 thin patties (slightly larger than bread). Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook in the same skillet over medium heat, 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Assemble the sandwiches
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices butter-side down. Add cheese, beef patty, caramelized onions, another slice of cheese. Top with remaining bread slices (butter-side up).
