Instructions

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!
Place the English muffin halves in a toaster or oven until they’re nicely browned. Allow them to cool slightly so they become crisp.
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.
Press the 2 halves together. For best flavor/texture, serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: I’m obsessed with Strong Roots® sweet potato hash browns! They’re nothing short of amazing, especially right out of the air fryer.

Note 2: Either use store-bought pesto (I recommend Rana’s) or make your own with my favorite Pesto Recipe.

Note 3: 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: 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. Look for a pack that lists Hass avocado as its only ingredient. (Steer clear of guacamole mixes.) Half of 1 mini pack is just the right swap for a fresh avocado.

Storage: These English Muffin Sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the components separately for the best texture.
