Ingredients
- 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
- 4 large Eggs
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Hot sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the brioche buns in half and set them aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet on medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 4
Wipe the skillet clean and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side-up or to your desired doneness. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the hot sauce to make a spicy mayo. Spread a layer of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Step 7
Assemble the buns: Layer a handful of baby spinach on top of the spicy mayo, followed by 2 slices of crispy bacon, 1 cooked egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a dollop of mashed avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Brunch in a Bun!
