The New Year is here, and for many, that means reflecting on the night before. Whether you danced until dawn, toasted to midnight with friends, or simply stayed up watching the fireworks, the morning after often calls for one thing: a hearty, satisfying brunch. Enter the New Year’s Recovery Brunch sandwich—a creation designed to rejuvenate your body and soul with every delicious bite.
This isn’t just any sandwich; it’s a celebration of bold flavours and indulgent textures layered into perfection. The foundation begins with a duo of golden fried eggs, their soft yolks ready to spill decadently into the mix. Add to that crispy, salty bacon, the ultimate comfort food that never fails to bring a smile. But this sandwich doesn’t stop at indulgence; it balances those rich elements with fresh slices of tomato and crisp lettuce for a touch of brightness and crunch.
What truly sets the New Year’s Recovery Brunch sandwich apart, though, is the avocado. Creamy, luxurious, and packed with healthy fats, it’s like a hug for your taste buds. This ingredient has a way of tying everything together, adding richness without weighing the sandwich down. And then there’s the relish—a sweet and tangy element that cuts through the decadence and makes each bite pop.
But this isn’t just about flavours; it’s also about the ritual. There’s something undeniably comforting about assembling this masterpiece on a slow New Year’s morning. It’s a chance to pause, reset, and savour the simple joy of good food. Pair it with a steaming cup of coffee or a refreshing mimosa, and you’ve got the perfect remedy for any lingering grogginess from the night before.
Of course, the New Year’s Recovery Brunch sandwich isn’t just for recovery—it’s a symbol of renewal. Every ingredient feels purposeful, from the nourishing avocado to the energising eggs. As you bite into its satisfying layers, you can’t help but feel a little more ready to tackle the year ahead.
So, whether you’re lounging in your pyjamas or hosting a casual brunch with friends, this sandwich is the ultimate companion. It’s hearty but balanced, indulgent but fresh—everything you need to start the year on a high note. Here’s to good food, great beginnings, and a year full of flavour!

I wasn’t a big fan of avocado until I tried this sandwich. Now I’m a believer.
What a life saver on new year’s day. Have had it again since lol. Such a tasty sandwich.
This sandwich was everything I needed after a late-night New Year’s party
This sandwich was a great mix of textures and flavours. Highly recommend for a lazy morning.
The fried egg yolks soaking into the bread were next-level. I’d love a bit of spice in the relish, though—maybe next time.
Absolutely perfect.
This was great! I’d give it five stars, but I had to substitute the relish because I didn’t have any on hand. Still, it was a great balance of flavours and super easy to make.

Really tasty, but I think I overcooked my eggs a bit—I’ll go for runny yolks next time.
I wasn’t sure if I could handle cooking the morning after, but this sandwich came together so easily.
This sandwich is my new New Year’s tradition.
It was the perfect way to recover from our late-night celebrations. Simple, delicious, and definitely going to be made again and again.
It’s hearty but doesn’t leave you feeling heavy—a perfect recovery meal.
Such a comforting and delicious sandwich! I added a bit of hot sauce to mine, and it was incredible.
The combination of savoury bacon, creamy avocado, and tangy relish is just chef’s kiss. It was quick to make and even quicker to devour
The crispy bacon and the soft egg yolk were just heavenly together.
Wow, this sandwich has it all! It feels indulgent but still fresh and light thanks to the veggies.
Perfect balance of indulgence and freshness.
I loved the freshness from the tomato and lettuce, which balanced the richness of the bacon and avocado perfectly.
The relish is an absolute game-changer—I need to keep this on hand just for sandwiches.
