Sourdough Avocado BLT Stack (Printable)

Hearty toasted sourdough stack with avocado, crispy bacon, fresh tomato, greens, and a runny egg.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread & Spreads

01 - 2 large slices sourdough bread
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 - 1 ripe avocado
04 - 1 teaspoon 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 slices and cook until crispy, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
02 - While bacon cooks, lightly butter both sides of 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 reaching desired consistency.
04 - Spread mashed avocado evenly over each toasted sourdough slice.
05 - Top each slice with mixed greens, tomato slices, and crispy bacon strips.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
07 - Carefully slide one egg onto each prepared stack. Garnish with chopped chives and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The runny yolk becomes a secret sauce that ties everything together without any extra effort.
  • It comes together in 30 minutes, so you can actually enjoy breakfast instead of spending your whole morning cooking.
  • Every ingredient earns its spot—there's nothing fancy or fussy about it, just real flavors stacked high.
02 -
  • The egg temperature drops the second it hits the cool toast, so cook it right before you're ready to eat—there's no reheating this gracefully.
  • An avocado that's too hard will be impossible to mash smoothly, and one that's too soft falls apart; aim for that gentle give when you squeeze it.
03 -
  • Pat your bacon dry after it cooks and it'll stay crispier longer instead of getting chewy as it cools.
  • Toast your bread in the same skillet after the bacon if you don't mind a little smoky residue—it actually adds something nice.
