Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spread 2 tbsp hummus evenly over 2 slices of bread using a knife or spoon, creating a 1/4-inch thick layer that covers the entire surface. Tip: Use the back of the spoon to spread for even coverage.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk 4 eggs with 1 tsp sriracha and 1/2 avocado (mashed until smooth with no lumps) for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is frothy and fully combined. Tip: Mash the avocado first to avoid lumps in the egg mixture.
  3. Step 3: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy. Tip: Cook until the mixture is just set but still slightly runny in the center for a moist texture.
  4. Step 4: Place 2 leaves of lettuce on top of the hummus-coated bread slices, then spoon the cooked egg mixture evenly over the lettuce. Tip: Use a spatula to spread the egg mixture for even coverage.
  5. Step 5: Top each sandwich with the remaining 2 slices of bread, pressing down gently to compress the layers. Tip: Pressing ensures the sandwich holds together without falling apart.

How do I store leftover American Breakfast Sandwich with Mediterranean Hummus and Asian Sriracha Egg Spread?
