G.E.L.T Guacamole, egg, lettuce and tomato sandwich (sammich)

IMG_3515.JPG

You will need:
eggs-1-2 per sandwich depending on calorie goals
Bun-1 for every sandwich- we used 100 calorie buns from costco
lettuce
Sliced tomato
mayo-we used vegan mayo (see below)
Guacamole or sliced avocado

start by cooking eggs in pan. we like ours over easy with a runny yoke. while the eggs are cooking put buns in the toaster. toast them lightly so they are still soft.
once buns are toasted cover one side with mayo and the other with Guacamole. then add eggs, lettuce and tomato. I should tell you this is very messy with the yoke but totally worth it.
