Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado (yielding slightly to gentle pressure)
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2–4 fresh eggs (free-range preferred)
- 2–4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Optional Spices and Toppings
- Smoked paprika (optional, to taste)
- Chili flakes (optional, to taste)
- Chopped chives (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Sliced jalapeños (optional, for spicy upgrade)
- Crumbled feta or shaved parmesan cheese (optional)
- Baby spinach, arugula, or microgreens (optional, for extra greens)
Instructions
- Prep and Cook the Bacon: Cook your bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain excess fat.
- Toast the Bread: While the bacon cooks, toast slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and slightly crunchy for the perfect base.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a splash of lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky to retain texture.
- Cook the Eggs: Cook eggs according to your preference—sunny-side up, poached, or scrambled—ensuring the eggs are perfectly done for your taste.
- Assemble Your Toasts: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each toasted bread slice, top with crispy bacon strips, then add the cooked eggs. Finish with a pinch of salt, pepper, and any optional toppings you desire.
Notes
- Use room temperature avocado for smoother spreading and fresher taste.
- Cook bacon slowly over medium heat for evenly crispy texture without burning.
- Avoid over-toasting bread to maintain crunchy exterior but soft center.
- Season avocado, bacon, and eggs separately with salt to deepen the flavors.
- Assemble the toasts immediately after cooking to prevent sogginess and preserve texture.
- Store avocado spread separately with lemon juice to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
