Avocado Open-Faced Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 medium shrimp
- 2 strips of bacon
- 1 egg
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. You can easily dislodge the pit by carefully twisting a knife into it and pulling it out.
Step 2
Using a spoon, gently scoop out the creamy flesh from the skin. Then, slice the avocado thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. Handle the slices carefully to keep their shape.
Step 3
Lightly grease a frying pan with cooking oil and cook the bacon and shrimp over medium heat until golden brown and slightly crispy. Cook the bacon until it’s nicely crisp and the shrimp until they turn pink. For extra flavor, sprinkle a little ground black pepper on the shrimp as they cook.
Step 4
In the same pan or a separate one, crack an egg and scramble it to your liking. A softly scrambled egg pairs wonderfully with this open-faced sandwich.
Step 5
You can toast the bread by lightly buttering it and pan-frying until golden, or for a lighter option, use a toaster to crisp it up. Toasting the bread makes the sandwich delightfully crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Step 6
Spread a generous layer of the prepared scrambled egg onto the toasted bread. Then, artfully arrange the cooked bacon strips over the eggs, followed by the sliced avocado. Sprinkle a little ground black pepper over the avocado for added flavor, if desired.
Step 7
Finally, place the plump, cooked shrimp attractively on top of the avocado. Your stunning avocado open-faced sandwich is now complete! Serve on a pretty plate and enjoy your delightful brunch!
