Enjoy this delicious Avocado Egg Sandwich for breakfast. The protein and healthy fats in the sandwich will keep you full until lunchtime!
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to see this Sandwich Maker from Hamilton Beach in action at the BlogHer conference. It is such a fun little appliance, and I knew my family would love making breakfast with it. I was so excited when they contacted me about reviewing one in my home.
When my husband saw the sandwich maker, he wasn't that impressed and didn't think it would work. Guess who uses this machine almost every single day now??? That's right. He had to take back all those things he said. He loves how easily this cooks an egg and toasts your muffin at the same time. Seriously, it gets used every day!
I love that this appliance is small enough to keep on the counter without taking up much space. With someone in the family using it every day, I didn't want to put it away, but it is also small enough that it wouldn't take up much room in a cabinet, either.
The sandwich maker is so easy to use. Even my children know how to operate it without an adult around. Turn it on and let it warm up. Then, you place the bottom muffin in the bottom, ensuring the plates stay lined up.
The egg gets cracked into the top compartment. If you like, you can whisk it slightly before in a bowl, but you don't have to.
Then, place the top muffin right on top of the egg. Close the lid and set your timer for 5 minutes. That's all there is to it. After 5 minutes are up, slide the middle panel out, causing the cooked egg to drop onto the bottom muffin. Lift up everything, and your sandwich is ready to go.
Unless you like to add extras... I love adding sliced cheese, tomato, and avocado to mine when it comes out. What would you add to a sandwich if you were making one??
Recipe
Avocado Egg Sandwich
Tomato, avocado, and cheese add extra flair to a basic egg sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 English muffin, split in half
- 1 large egg
- I slice of American cheese
- 1 tomato slice
- ½ an avocado
Instructions
- Place the bottom of the English muffin in the bottom of the sandwich maker. Crack the egg into the top compartment. Place the top of the muffin right onto the egg. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
- Slide the panel out and lift up the lid. Place the cheese slice onto the egg and top with as much tomato and avocado as you like.
Notes
I used the Hamilton Beach Sandwich Maker to cook this breakfast sandwich. You can also cook the egg in a skillet. Top with cheese when cooked and place on top of the muffin.

I'm really wanting to try this recipe out, I currently love making a Smoked Gouda & Avocado Egg sandwich with my breakfast sandwich maker. Do you still use the sandwich maker a lot or did you just use it for this promotion? Would love to see more recipes with it! 🙂

I've seen several posts using this sandwich maker. I haven't seen any of these in Australia. I suspect it will be a year or more til they work their way down here. My only issue is one person eats hot while the other eats lukewarm or you don't eat together. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
That is very true! Mornings are a bit crazy around here so it doesn't seem to bother any of us though 😉
Laura @ Lauras Baking Talent
Love the sandwich idea. I wish I had avocado in the house right now. I think I'm going to try it with everything else. Breakfast here I come 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yay!! Although you definitely just NEED that avocado in my opinion!! 😉 Thanks Laura!!
Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen
These are all my favorite ingredients for a sandwich!! Love, LOVE, love!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha, thanks Elizabeth!! 😉
Tamara Coleman
I like avocado in any form and any time of the day! The creaminess of the avocado gives the sandwich nice flavor and texture. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
I totally agree!!! Thanks Tamara!! 😉

What an amazing appliance! If my 11 year old got ahold of that, he'd be able to make his favorite breakfast sandwiches every day. This would be a great timesaver for me! You've put a lot of great things in front of me (cute dog!), but I can't get those brownie bites out of my head! Have a great weekend!
Jocelyn Brubaker
You need one of these then! I absolutely love that my kids can use this thing!! Thanks Marcie!

I have this for breakfast almost every morning minus the tomato and the top of the english muffin. So good, so filling.
Jocelyn Brubaker
