Ingredients
2 tablespoons good mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, grated
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely minced
1 tablespoon butter (for frying egg)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon butter (for toasting bread)
2 slices rye-and-pumpernickel bread
2 slices havarti cheese
Thinly sliced smoked turkey breast
½ Hass avocado, thinly sliced
Handful of your favorite greens and sprouts
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated garlic, and minced parsley. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, crack the egg into the skillet. Fry to your desired doneness and season with salt and pepper.
- In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the slices of rye-and-pumpernickel bread in the skillet and toast until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.
- Spread a generous amount of herbed aioli mayo on each slice of toasted bread. On one slice, layer the havarti cheese, smoked turkey, avocado slices, and your choice of greens and sprouts. Top with the fried egg, season with salt and pepper, and cover with the second slice of bread.
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Notes
For a different cheese, swap havarti with Swiss, cheddar, or goat cheese.
If you’re not a fan of rye-and-pumpernickel bread, use whole wheat, sourdough, or any bread you prefer.
For a vegetarian option, replace the turkey and egg with extra veggies or hummus.
Use gluten-free bread to make this sandwich gluten-free.
If you want a lighter sandwich, skip the egg or use a scrambled egg.
