Ingredients

• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 2 tbsp hummus
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 egg
• 2 cups spinach
• 1/2 tomato

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place 2 slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Toast until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes for a toaster or 8-10 minutes in the oven, flipping halfway through. Tip: For even browning, toast both sides until the edges are slightly charred.
2. Step 2: Use a spoon to spread 2 tbsp hummus evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges to prevent sogginess.
3. Step 3: Dice 1/2 avocado into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices evenly across one half of the bread, ensuring they are spaced to allow room for other ingredients.
4. Step 4: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, crack 1 egg into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. Tip: Avoid moving the egg too early—this helps create a flat, firm base.
5. Step 5: Transfer the fried egg to the bread with the avocado, placing it gently in the center. Add 2 cups spinach, folding the leaves into thirds to fit, and top with 1/2 tomato sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
6. Step 6: Press the sandwich together firmly using a spatula or your hands, ensuring all layers are compacted and the hummus adheres to the bread. Serve immediately to maintain crispness.
