Equipment

• toaster or skillet
• nonstick frying pan
• Mixing bowl
• fork or potato masher
• Cutting board
• Chef’s knife
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula
• small spoon for spreading

Ingredients

• 2 slices multigrain bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp crème fraîche
• 1 tsp fresh tarragon finely chopped
• Handful of sprouts alfalfa, broccoli, or microgreens
• 2–3 slices ripe tomato
• 1–2 tsp lemon juice
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Optional: olive oil or butter for cooking eggs

Instructions

Toast the bread

• Toast multigrain bread until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Cook the eggs

• Cook eggs to your preference (fried with runny yolks, soft-scrambled, or soft-boiled and sliced). Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Make the avocado smash

• In a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until mostly smooth but still textured.

Mix the crème fraîche

• Stir chopped tarragon into the crème fraîche with a pinch of salt.

Assemble the sandwich

• Spread avocado smash generously on the bottom slice of toast
• Layer with tomato slices
• Add eggs
• Dollop or spread the tarragon crème fraîche
• Top with sprouts
• Finish with second slice of toast

Serve immediately

• Cut in half and enjoy while warm.

Notes

• Choose a ripe but firm avocado so the smash is creamy without becoming watery.
• Season the avocado lightly at first; the eggs and crème fraîche add richness and saltiness.
• Fresh tarragon is key for its delicate, slightly anise flavor—use sparingly so it doesn’t overpower the sandwich.
• Toast the multigrain bread well to help it hold up to the creamy layers.
• For the best texture, assemble the sandwich just before serving to prevent sogginess.
• If using very juicy tomatoes, pat slices dry with a paper towel before layering.
• Sprouts add freshness and crunch—add them last so they stay crisp.

✨ Tips & Variations

• Add red pepper flakes or chili oil for gentle heat
• Swap eggs for jammy eggs for a brunch vibe
• Add thin cucumber slices for extra crunch
• Use sourdough multigrain for a tangier base

❓ FAQ

Can I make this sandwich dairy-free?
Yes. Simply omit the crème fraîche or replace it with a dairy-free yogurt or vegan sour cream alternative.

What’s the best way to fry the egg for this sandwich?
Cook the egg over medium heat until the whites are fully set and the yolk is still slightly runny for the best texture and flavor.

Can I prepare any components ahead of time?
You can toast the bread and prep the tarragon crème fraîche in advance, but the avocado and egg are best prepared fresh.

Is this sandwich good for meal prep?
It’s best enjoyed right away, but you can pack the components separately and assemble just before eating.

Can I add extra protein?
Absolutely. Smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or a slice of grilled halloumi all pair well with the flavors in this sandwich.
