Bacon, Egg, and Avocado Toast

Bacon egg and avocado toast has a special place in my weekend mornings because it brings together all my favorite breakfast flavors in one bite and it’s become a little ritual I look forward to while sipping my coffee and watching the morning light stream in through the window. I first made it when I had leftover bacon from brunch and thought why not layer it with creamy avocado and a sunny-side-up egg on top of crispy toast and that simple choice turned into a favorite.

Now whenever I want something that feels both indulgent and energizing I turn to this combo the creamy avocado balances the salty crunch of bacon and the egg brings it all together with that rich golden yolk it’s fast satisfying and feels like a tiny luxury on a plate.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Bread slices – Acts as the hearty base and gets perfectly crisp when toasted.
• Avocado – Provides creamy texture and healthy fats with a fresh mild flavor.
• Eggs – A runny yolk adds richness and makes the toast extra indulgent.
• Bacon – Brings smoky salty crunch that pairs beautifully with the avocado.
• Salt – Enhances the flavor of the avocado mash and egg.
• Black pepper – Adds just the right touch of spice and balance.
• Olive oil or butter (optional) – Used to toast the bread or cook the egg for extra flavor.

Tools You’ll Need

• Frying pan – To cook the bacon and eggs to your liking.
• Toaster or oven – For crisping the bread slices perfectly.
• Knife – Useful for slicing and mashing the avocado.
• Fork – To mash the avocado smoothly onto the toast.
• Spatula – Helps flip or move the bacon and eggs with ease.
• Paper towels – To drain excess oil from cooked bacon.

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by cooking the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until it’s golden and crispy then I transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease.

Step 2:

While the bacon cooks I toast the bread slices until they’re nicely crisped either in a toaster or directly in the pan with a touch of butter or oil for added flavor.

Step 3:

Next I cut open the avocado remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl then I mash it with a fork adding a little salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4:

In the same pan I use the leftover bacon fat or a bit of olive oil to fry the eggs sunny-side-up I like the yolks runny but you can cook them to your preference.

Step 5:

Once everything is ready I spread a generous layer of mashed avocado over each toast slice.

Step 6:

I then lay a few pieces of crispy bacon on top followed by the fried egg gently placed so the yolk stays intact.

Step 7:

I finish with a little extra salt and cracked black pepper over the top and sometimes even sprinkle on a few chili flakes or microgreens if I have them.

Tips

If I want a creamier mash I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of garlic powder to the avocado. For a more filling version I’ve also topped this toast with a slice of tomato or even a few sautéed mushrooms. And if you like spice a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes works beautifully.
