Frequently Asked Questions
One of the easiest ways to tell if your avocado is ripe is to give them a light squeeze. If your avocado feels soft then it is ready to go. A hard avocado that is not very malleable likely still needs a day or two. You can also look at the color of your avocado. The greener your avocado is, the less ripe it is.
It is completely up to you! You can toast them beforehand if you want them to be a little more crispy and add a little crunch, but it is not necessary. If you do not toast them first, the sandwich could possibly have a more dry texture due to the thickness of the bagels.
We love the smokey flavor that provolone cheese brings to these sandwiches. However, with that being said, switching up what cheese you use is an easy way to customize the flavor of your sandwich. You can use muenster cheese for a richer flavor, pepper jack for a spicier sandwich, and sharp cheddar for a more savory flavor profile. With so many different kinds of cheese to choose from you really can’t go wrong.
Expert Tips
- I usually use plain bagels for these sandwiches, but Asiago bagels are a great option too. Pick your favorite kind of savory bagel and use that!
- If you want to take this sandwich to the next level and have some extra time on your hands, you can make your own homemade bagels and use those!
- I like to season my egg with some salt and pepper as it cooks in the pan. You can fry your egg completely or leave your yolk runny for some extra flavor!
- You can replace the provolone with a slice of your favorite cheese! Some other cheeses that work well with this sandwich include American, Swiss, and Muenster.
- When picking your avocados, you can tell if they are ripe if they give in to a firm gentle pressure when you squeeze them in the palm of your hand!
