There’s something about a hearty breakfast sandwich that makes mornings a little more bearable, and when bacon and avocado are involved, you know you’re starting the day off right. This combo brings together crispy, salty bacon and creamy, buttery avocado in a way that feels indulgent yet satisfying. It’s the kind of breakfast that keeps you full, focused, and happy until lunch.
The bacon and avocado breakfast sandwich is a modern classic. It’s easy to assemble, endlessly customizable, and far better than anything you’ll find in a drive-thru. The base is usually a toasted English muffin, croissant, or hearty bread like sourdough or ciabatta. Then comes the crispy bacon—freshly cooked, not too chewy, not too brittle. Next is the avocado, either mashed with a squeeze of lemon or sliced generously to let its creamy texture shine.
Eggs are often part of the mix too, adding even more substance and flavor. You can scramble them, fry them sunny-side-up, or go with a soft yolk for that perfect breakfast sandwich drip. A slice of cheese, like cheddar, Swiss, or provolone, ties everything together with its gooey, melty goodness.
This sandwich is a popular choice for weekend brunch, but it’s also easy enough to throw together on a busy weekday morning. It works great as a meal prep option—just cook the bacon ahead of time and have your avocado and bread ready to go. If you’re short on time, you can even wrap it in foil and take it with you for breakfast on the go.
What makes this sandwich really stand out is the balance of flavors and textures. The smokiness of the bacon, the richness of the avocado, and the crunch of toasted bread all work together to make every bite satisfying. Add a little hot sauce, a dash of pepper, or a handful of greens for a fresh twist.
It’s simple, delicious, and worth every bite.

Isn’t this just a glorified bacon egg muffin? I don’t get the hype 😒
I get what you mean, but there’s something about that creamy avocado that really elevates it! 😍
Aren’t all breakfast sandwiches kind of similar tho? Bacon and eggs are classic! 🤔
Not gonna lie, 4 eggs for 4 muffins sounds like a lot. Did you mean 1 egg per sandwich? Either way, it tastes good.
This was amazing! The bacon made it so flavorful, and the avocado added the perfect creaminess. Definitely a new favorite for breakfast! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m skeptical about frying eggs in the same skillet right after bacon. The flavor was okay, but it got a little smoky. Maybe it’s just my pan, though. Still edible.
I get you—bacon grease can get pretty smokey if the pan isn’t cleaned off a bit. Maybe try wiping out excess fat after the bacon, or lower the heat before the eggs go in.
This sandwich is my new breakfast favorite! The bacon and avocado combo is unbeatable. Honestly delicious!
Honestly, seems like it’s just bacon + avocado + egg on bread… but that’s also like… the whole point, lol. Would make again.
This was okay, but I think it needs more something. Maybe cheese? Idk.
Bacon = yes, Avocado = yes. What more can you ask for? It’s breakfast perfection! 🌞 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I tried this recipe but it didn’t turn out as expected. The eggs were overcooked and the bacon was too greasy. Maybe I need to practice more? ⭐⭐⭐
Don’t be too hard on yourself! Eggs can be tricky sometimes. Maybe try cooking them on lower heat next time? Sounds yummy anyway! 🍳🥓
Tried something like this but didn’t toast the muffins enough—big difference here. The crisp texture really helps.
I don’t know why everyone is raving about this… it’s just a sandwich? Kind of lame.
Bacon was crispy ✅ eggs good. avocodo was ok. Delicious. 10/10!!!
So good! But you know, you could add some cheese for extra flavor! Just saying… 💡
So simple and tasty! I added some cheese and it was divine!
Meh. It’s okay, but bacon can be salty and avocado is kinda bland by itself. Needs more seasoning or something acidic.
I agree—bacon’s always got that salty punch. I usually add a squeeze of lemon or hot sauce on the avocado so it doesn’t feel flat. Also a pinch of chili flakes helps a lot.
I think it’s fine as written. Salt and pepper are “to taste” so add more if you want. Avocado’s not supposed to be like—like super flavorful by itself, it’s more creamy. 🤷♂️
Delish! I added some hot sauce to mine and it was fire 🔥🔥. Can’t wait for breakfast again!
Fire? Really? I dunno about hot sauce on breakfast. Seems weird.
That sounds amazing! Hot sauce is a great idea. I love adding a kick to my breakfast!
This is just a fried egg sandwhich with bacon n guac. Not special!
I was skeptical at first but tried it. It was OK, but I found the bacon too greasy for my liking.
Best breakfast ever! My kids loved helping make these. Quick and fun!
I love bacon, but isn’t bacon bad for you? I mean, I still want to try it, but like… I worry. 😂 ⭐⭐⭐
English muffins are kinda dry if you toast too long… mine got a bit crunchy and the egg slid out. Still edible though 😅
Totally feel you—English muffins can go from perfect to crunch-city fast. I’ve had the egg slide out too 😅. Next time maybe toast just until golden, and let the eggs set a touch thicker (or use a firmer fry). Still looks like a win though!
I tried a similar combo before, but the key is cooking the bacon really crisp. The instructions are simple and it actually comes together fast.
Just made this 10 minutes ago! It’s so fast and easy. But my English muffins fell apart. Sad! 😟 ⭐⭐⭐
Mmm, better luck next time! Maybe use bagels instead? More stable!
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Did you toast them a bit too long or maybe they were too fresh? Try letting them cool a bit next time!
Yum! Just what I needed for a weekend brunch. Everyone was asking me for the recipe! 🍳🥑
Bacon is bad for you. I prefer a healthier option without it. Just sayin’.
I get where you’re coming from, but bacon has its appeal! You can’t deny the flavor it adds to a breakfast sandwich. Maybe try a turkey bacon instead?
Healty schmelty. Bacon is the best part of breakfast! You can’t just replace it and expect the same taste. Just sayin’.
My kids devoured these sandwiches! Thank you for an easy recipe!
Really? I thought it needed more flavor. Maybe some cheese? 🤔
I’m so glad your kids loved it! It’s super easy and delicious! We make it all the time.
Too greasy for my taste. My kids didn’t like it. 😕
I actually loved it! The grease adds flavor. Maybe try reducing the bacon next time?
It’s bacon! Of course it’s greasy. But not all kids like avocado. Just saying.
Quick and easy, my kids love it! They ask for these sandwiches every Saturday! 🥰
That sounds amazing! I’m going to try it for brunch this weekend. My kids are going to love it too! 🥳
I don’t know… sounds kinda unhealthy with all that bacon. Can’t you just use turkey bacon or something?
Pretty good, but I think 4 eggs is kinda overkill for 4 muffins unless you want them really thick. Also my eggs stuck to the pan a bit—next time I’ll use more oil or lower the heat.
Not bad, but 4 eggs feels like a lot for 4 muffins—maybe I misread? Also, my bacon curled up like crazy. Still tasty though.
The instructions are clear. Medium heat for bacon is the way. I did my eggs over easy—now I want breakfast sandwiches every day.
Right? Medium heat keeps the bacon from turning into little carbon rocks. Over-easy egg + avocado on an English muffin is legit—now I’m craving one too 😄
Could you use turkey bacon instead? I’m trying to be healthier. Still, sounds good.
So easy. I cooked the bacon first, then scrambled the eggs instead of frying—still worked great and felt faster.
Wait, you scrambled them instead of frying? Huh. I feel like it would be a totally different texture—kinda risky, but glad it worked for you.
Nice! I’m always looking for ways to make it faster without sacrificing flavor. Scrambling the eggs sounds like a great shortcut.
I had a bit of trouble with the eggs. They stuck to the pan. What do I do? 😕
Yum!
Wow, who knew bacon and avocado could taste so good together?? 🥑🥓
This combo is the perfect salty-crunchy + creamy situation. I used a little extra pepper and it was sooo good on toasted muffins.
Yes!! I love that salty-crunchy + creamy combo. I did exactly this and the pepper really makes the avocado pop—next time I’m adding a little hot sauce too.
Sounds tasty but I’m confused—do you put salt and pepper on the egg *and* again on the assembled sandwich? I used more pepper like you and it kinda overpowered the avocado. Maybe just pepper on the egg?
The instructions are super clear, but 4 eggs for 4 muffins is perfect… unless you like a lot of egg. Then maybe do 5?
Good recipe but I used whole wheat muffins instead; still taste good. Just a healthier option, you know? 🍞👏
bacon avokado = great combo. 10/10, worth making again!!
