Ingredients for Frankenstein Breakfast Sandwiches
- 4 slices whole-grain bread (toasted)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar or mozzarella cheese (for the “shirt”)
- 8 black olive slices (for eyes and bolts)
- 1 red bell pepper strip (for the mouth)
- 1 cucumber slice (for the nose)
- 1 sheet nori or spinach leaves (for the hair)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the avocado spread
In a bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will be Frankenstein’s green face.
Step 2: Toast the bread
Lightly toast the bread slices so they’re sturdy but not too crunchy. Place one slice of cheese at the bottom to look like Frankenstein’s “shirt collar.”
Step 3: Create Frankenstein’s face
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toast. Use olive slices for eyes, cucumber for a nose, and a strip of red bell pepper for the mouth. Add extra olive pieces on the sides for Frankenstein’s “bolts.”
Step 4: Add the hair
Cut nori (or spinach leaves) into jagged pieces and place them on top of the toast to make Frankenstein’s spiky black hair.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately. They’re best eaten fresh while the avocado is still bright green.
