Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices crispy bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices sourdough, whole grain, or rustic bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Avocado Preparation: Mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, creating a luxurious spread with vibrant flavor undertones.
- Toast Crafting: Achieve golden-brown perfection by toasting bread slices, ensuring crisp edges and uniform coloration that provides a sturdy foundation for toppings.
- Bacon Transformation: Sizzle bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until achieving a perfectly crisp texture, allowing natural fats to render and intensify the meat’s rich flavor profile.
- Egg Mastery: Utilize the same skillet to cook eggs to preferred doneness, maintaining the pan’s residual bacon essence for enhanced taste complexity.
- Assembly Technique: Layer the mashed avocado across toasted bread, creating a robust base, then strategically distribute crispy bacon fragments for textural contrast and depth.
- Final Embellishment: Crown the toast with prepared eggs, allowing potential yolk spillage to create an indulgent, glistening finish, and complete the dish with a delicate seasoning of salt and black pepper to elevate the overall gustatory experience.
Notes
- Select Fresh Ingredients: Choose ripe avocados with slight give when pressed, thick-cut bacon for better crunch, and farm-fresh eggs for richest flavor.
- Manage Cooking Temperatures: Control skillet heat carefully to prevent bacon burning and eggs overcooking, ensuring perfect crispy texture without charring.
- Control Moisture Levels: Pat bacon dry before cooking to maximize crispiness, and drain excess liquid from mashed avocado to prevent soggy toast.
- Customize Dietary Preferences: Swap regular bread with gluten-free alternatives, use turkey bacon for lower fat content, or replace eggs with scrambled tofu for vegetarian version.
