Ingredients

For the Hot Honey Bacon

• 4 slices bacon

• 2 tbsp Honey House Hot Honey

For the Sando

• 2 slices sourdough bread (or fresh bakery bread of choice)

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 ripe avocado

• Salt, to taste

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 2 slices cheese (Habanero Jack, white cheddar, or similar)

• Handful of fresh greens (arugula or mixed greens work well)

• 1–2 tbsp mayonnaise

Equipment

• Rimmed baking sheet

• Parchment paper or foil

• Skillet or frying pan

• Small bowl and fork (for avocado)

• Spatula

Pro Tips

1. Add Honey Late: Brush the hot honey onto the bacon only after flipping—adding it too early can cause burning.

2. Use Medium Heat for Eggs: Gentle heat gives you tender whites and perfectly cooked yolks.

3. Toast with Mayo: Spreading mayo on the bread before toasting creates an ultra-golden, flavorful crust.

4. Mash Simply: A little salt and pepper is all the avocado needs—the other flavors do the heavy lifting.

5. Melt the Cheese Fully: Add cheese as soon as you flip the bread so it melts evenly before assembling.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

2. Lay the bacon strips flat on the sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, until starting to crisp.

3. Remove from the oven, flip the bacon, and brush evenly with Honey House Hot Honey.

4. Return to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes more, until deeply caramelized and crisp. Set aside.

5. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Spread a light layer of mayonnaise on both sides of the bread slices. Toast in a skillet over medium heat.

7. When you flip the bread, add the cheese slices so they melt while the second side toasts. Remove and set aside.

8. In the same skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, over-easy, or scrambled).

9. Assemble the sandwich: bottom slice of bread, avocado, greens, eggs, hot honey bacon, then top with the second slice of bread.

10. Serve immediately while warm and melty.

Storage Tips

• Best enjoyed fresh, right after assembling

• Bacon can be cooked up to 2 days ahead and reheated in a skillet

• Avoid assembling in advance to prevent soggy bread

Recipe Notes

The magic of this sandwich is the contrast—crispy bacon brushed with spicy-sweet honey, creamy avocado, and rich eggs all layered between golden toasted bread. The heat from the honey cuts through the richness, keeping each bite balanced and crave-worthy.

Using Honey House Hot Honey, made with 100% pure, raw American honey, adds depth and character you won’t get from sugar or syrup. It caramelizes beautifully on the bacon while delivering just enough heat to wake everything up.

Perfect Pairings
