Sourdough Avocado BLT Stack (Print Version)

A flavorful stack layered with avocado, bacon, tomato, greens, and runny egg on toasted sourdough.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread & Spreads

01 - 2 large slices sourdough bread
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 - 1 ripe avocado
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
05 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Vegetables & Greens

06 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
07 - 1 cup mixed greens

→ Bacon

08 - 4 slices smoked bacon

→ Eggs

09 - 2 large eggs

→ Garnish

10 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
11 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
02 - While bacon cooks, lightly butter both sides of the sourdough slices. Toast in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
03 - In a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until desired consistency is achieved.
04 - Spread mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough slices.
05 - Layer each sourdough slice with mixed greens, tomato slices, and crispy bacon in succession.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes.
07 - Carefully slide one cooked egg onto each prepared stack.
08 - Garnish with chopped chives and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 30 minutes but tastes like you spent an hour on it, which feels like a small kitchen magic trick.
  • That runny yolk breaking into the crispy sourdough and creamy avocado is honestly the breakfast version of winning the lottery.
  • It's flexible enough to swap bacon for mushrooms or add cheese without the whole thing falling apart.
02 -
  • If your egg yolk breaks while cooking, the whole thing still tastes amazing, so don't panic or restart because soaking into warm avocado and sourdough is honestly almost better.
  • The temperature of everything matters: warm bread, warm bacon, warm egg over creamy avocado creates this moment where textures and temperatures actually complement each other.
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs cook more evenly and the yolk stays runny longer while the whites fully set, so take them out of the fridge a few minutes early.
  • If your tomatoes are watery, salt them lightly and let them sit on a paper towel for a minute so they don't make the whole stack soggy.
