Gluten & Dairy Free Healthy Breakfast Sandwich (w/ green avocado sauce)

This is a delicious and deletable breakfast sandwich that I recently starting making, and it has quickly become a favorite lunch or breakfast meal in my household. It has lots of protein (bacon, eggs), flavor, and as far as breakfast Sammys go, healthy! No gluten, no dairy, and lower fat (because of the turkey bacon)

I currently cannot have pork or beef, due to a health issue I had awhile back, so I eat turkey bacon and turkey sausage. I found out how to to make my own hash-browns when I was on the Whole 30 and couldn’t find any frozen premade hash-browns that didn’t have any sugar in them. Turns out, they are easy to make and only take about 10-15 minutes! But if you don’t have the time for that (I totally understand), store bought hash-brown patties would work well too. I know that Trader Joe’s has some very yummy ones.

The green avocado sauce gives the sandwich flavor, depth, and beautiful bright color. This sauce is tangy, garlicky, and compliments the other ingredients really well.

There is no dairy or cheese in this sammy, and let me tell you, I do not miss it. Of course you can always add some cheese if you want, but I don’t think it needs it.

As far as the bread goes, I used a gluten free English muffin from Glutino, and the secret is to toast it really well so that it is crispy and has a nice golden color on it. If you don’t need to go gluten free, sub a regular English muffin and I definitely will not judge you.

A sausage patty would be tasty too, if you don’t like bacon (does that kind of person exist?), or would like to swap it out. OR if you are feeling crazy, you could have bacon and sausage.

This sandwich is delicious and definitely worth a try. If you do make it, be sure to leave a review/comment on how you liked it!
