Recipe Overview
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
For the Toast:
2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread (or your preferred toast)
1 large ripe avocado
2 eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled)
2 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy
½ tsp lemon juice (to keep the avocado fresh)
½ tsp salt & black pepper (to taste)
½ tsp red pepper flakes or chili flakes (optional, for spice)
½ tsp everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
2. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado Spread
1. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork.
2. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Fried Egg: Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg in and cook until the whites are set (~3-4 minutes).
Poached Egg: Bring water to a simmer, add 1 tbsp vinegar, and gently drop the egg in. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Scrambled Egg: Beat eggs in a bowl, cook in a pan with a little butter over low heat, stirring until just set.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
1. Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
2. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
3. Top with the crispy bacon.
4. Place the fried, poached, or scrambled egg on top.
5. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, or extra black pepper.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Serve immediately while warm!

For extra crunch: Add toasted sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, or microgreens.
