    These healthy, Steamed Bao Buns with Egg and Avocado are the perfect breakfast sandwich. It's our Asian twist on an Egg McMuffin!

    • Total Time: 25 mins
    • Yield: 4 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 4 Bao buns (frozen package)
    • 4 eggs
    • Pinch of salt and pepper
    • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
    • ½ large avocado, sliced
    • ¼ cup bean sprouts
    • Sriracha sauce for drizzling
    • Toasted sesame seeds for sprinkling

    Instructions

    1. Steam the Bao buns in a bamboo steamer or a pot with a steamer insert for 10 minutes until they fluff up. Remove and let cool.
    2. While the buns are steaming, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and the green onions. Using a non-stick pan, cook the eggs on low heat for 1-2 minutes letting the eggs set. Flip the eggs with a rubber spatula and cook another 20 seconds until done. Remove from the pan and cut into rounds. (I used a small single egg pan to make mine in four batches.)

    To assemble:

    Fold the rounded egg over and place inside the Bao bun. Top the egg with avocado slices and bean sprouts. Drizzle the sriracha sauce on top and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    You can find the Bao buns in the freezer section of your local Asian market.
