This English Muffin Sandwich brings together the creamy richness of avocado with the herby kick of pesto, and the salty savoriness of feta and bacon, all rounded off with a crispy and flavorful sweet potato hash brown! And a handful of sun-dried tomatoes and greens to provide the perfect finishing touch. This Mediterranean-inspired sandwich is my new go-to lunch!
COOK HASH BROWN AND BACON: Follow package directions to cook the sweet potato hash brown. I like air frying it best! Prepare bacon -- either bake it or to keep things quick, use microwave bacon!
TOAST ENGLISH MUFFIN: Place the English muffin halves in a toaster or oven until they're nicely browned. Allow them to cool slightly so they become crisp.
ASSEMBLE: Mayo and pesto layer: Spread a generous amount of mayo on the inner sides of both muffin halves. Layer the pesto over the mayo.Avocado and greens: Place the thinly sliced avocado on one half of the muffin. On the other half, lay down your greens and the cooked bacon. (Fold or tear the bacon to fit the muffin half.)Hash brown and cheese: Place the cooked sweet potato patty on the avocado side.Sun-dried tomatoes and feta: Scatter the finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the bacon and add feta on the other muffin half.
ENJOY: Press the two halves together. For best flavor/texture, serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
Note 1: Sweet potato hash brown patty: We're obsessed with Strong Roots® sweet potato hash browns! They're nothing short of amazing, especially right out of the air fryer.Note 2: Basil pesto: Either use store-bought pesto (we recommend Rana’s) or make your own with our favorite Pesto Recipe.Note 3: Sun-dried tomatoes: Choose tomatoes steeped in olive oil with herbs, rather than the dry-packed ones. Also, look for julienne-cut tomatoes, which make the dicing even quicker. Note 4: Avocado: For this sandwich, a perfectly ripe avocado makes all the difference. To check ripeness, gently press the top near the stem; it should give slightly but not be too mushy. If you're short on a fresh one, these " avocado minis" work in a pinch. Look for a pack that lists Hass avocado as its only ingredient. (steer clear of guacamole mixes.) Using half of one mini pack is just the right swap for a fresh avocado in these sandwiches.
