Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1 ripe avocado
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 slices of bread, 2 large eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 1 ripe avocado, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for garnish.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the 2 slices of bacon to the skillet. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it is crispy and browned to your liking.
- While the bacon is cooking, prepare the avocado. Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. In the same skillet, crack the 2 large eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the 2 slices of bread in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the toast: Spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.
- Top each slice of avocado toast with a cooked egg, followed by a slice of crispy bacon.
- Season the assembled toast with additional salt and pepper if desired, and sprinkle red pepper flakes on top for a bit of heat.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Egg, Bacon, and Avocado Toast!
Tips
- Choose the Right Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best flavor and texture. It should yield slightly when pressed gently.
- Perfectly Crispy Bacon: For extra crispiness, consider using a cast-iron skillet. It retains heat well, ensuring even cooking.
- Egg Cooking Techniques: Experiment with your egg cooking method! If you prefer a runny yolk, sunny-side up is perfect, but you can also scramble or poach them for a different twist.
- Toast Variations: Try using different types of bread such as sourdough, whole grain, or even gluten-free options to suit your taste.
- Add Extra Toppings: Get creative! Add sliced tomatoes, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce to elevate the flavors even more.
- Meal Prep: Make the mashed avocado ahead of time and store it in an airtight container with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
