# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and hot sauce until combined.
02 -
In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lime juice until smooth but slightly chunky.
03 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they reach a crispy texture. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
04 -
In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed and scramble the egg mixture until just cooked through. Remove from heat.
05 -
Butter one side of each sourdough slice with unsalted butter. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, and avocado spread. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out. Grill sandwiches over medium heat in a skillet or griddle until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Adjust hot sauce and seasoning to taste. Omit bacon and add sliced tomatoes or fresh spinach for a vegetarian variation. A non-stick skillet or griddle yields best results.
