This recipe is inspired by a sandwich I had at The Hoot in Maine. It is a delicious, farm to table spot and their breakfast sandwiches are truly unmatched. This one has a housemade focaccia bread, pesto, tomato, bacon, eggs and avocado. Truly so good.
One note: You can use store bought focaccia for this, or make your own. My goto homemade focaccia recipe is Bon Appetits No Knead recipe.
Focaccia Breakfast Sandwich

Pesto
- 3/4 cup basil leaves

Instructions
- In a food processor, combine pesto ingredients and blend until smooth. Season to taste.
- Add bacon to a pan on medium heat and cook until desired level of crispiness. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Add butter to a skillet and crack 2 eggs. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook until desired, I did about 2-3 min for a nice over easy egg.
