PRESENTATION

Canadian breakfast sandwich takes the bacon egg and cheese sandwich a layer further: crispy bacon, melted cheddar, and a double fried egg stacked inside golden, fragrant toasted bread—then finished with a smooth avocado cream that pulls the whole thing together. Substantial enough to stand as a full meal, it works just as well at a relaxed brunch as it does on a rushed weekday morning.

The avocado cream is what separates this from a standard bacon and egg sandwich. Spread across the layers, it brings a coolness and richness that keeps each bite from tipping into excess—balancing the salt of the bacon and the yielding yolk without competing with either. The formula as written is already very good, but it adapts easily to taste.

INGREDIENTS

For 2 sandwiches: Sandwich bread 6 slices; Bacon 8 slices; Eggs 4; Cheddar cheese 2.1 oz (60 g); Butter 3 tbsp (40 g); Fine salt to taste

For the avocado spread: Avocado 1; Lemon juice 2 tbsp (30 g); Extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp (10 g); Fine salt to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Canadian breakfast sandwich

To make the Canadian breakfast sandwich, start by toasting the bread: melt 2 tbsp of butter (about 30 g) in a nonstick skillet 1, add the slices of bread 2 and brown them over medium heat on both sides 3. Set aside.

Move on to the avocado spread: halve the avocado and scoop out the flesh 4, then transfer it to a bowl. Season with salt 5 and oil 6.

Add the lemon juice as well 7 and mash with a fork 8 to obtain a smooth consistency 9.

Heat the same skillet you used to toast the bread, place the bacon slices in it 10 and fry over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes. Flip them with tongs and fry for another 2–3 minutes on the other side until crispy and golden 11. Remove the bacon from the pan and melt the remaining 2 tsp of butter (about 10 g) 12.

Add the eggs 13, season with salt 14 and cook over moderate heat for about 3–4 minutes. Once the eggs are ready, you can assemble the sandwich: place one slice of bread on the plate and spread the avocado spread on it 15.

Carefully transfer the fried egg 16, then add the cheddar 17 and 2 slices of bacon 18.

Cover with a second slice of bread 19 and proceed in the same way with avocado spread 20 and another 2 slices of bacon 21.

Finish with more cheddar 22 and a second fried egg 23. Close with the third slice of bread and assemble the second sandwich the same way. Your Canadian breakfast sandwich is ready to enjoy 34!
