Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices crispy bacon
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices sourdough, whole grain, or rustic bread
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) butter or olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped chives or parsley
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) lemon juice
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) black pepper
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Mash ripe avocados with citrus juice and seasoning until achieving a smooth, creamy texture that serves as a luxurious base spread.
- Bacon Rendering: Cook bacon slices in a hot skillet until achieving a crisp, golden-brown appearance, then drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Bread Transformation: Toast bread slices to a warm golden color, lightly brushing with olive oil or butter to enhance flavor and create a crisp foundation.
- Egg Crafting: Prepare eggs using preferred method – sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled – ensuring a rich, luscious yolk remains intact.
- Assembly: Layer the velvety avocado spread generously across the toasted bread, creating a vibrant green canvas that serves as the sandwich’s primary foundation.
- Finishing Touches: Strategically position crispy bacon fragments over the avocado spread, then gently place the perfectly cooked eggs on top, allowing the yolk to naturally cascade and blend with the creamy base.
- Flavor Enhancement: Elevate the dish by sprinkling red pepper flakes for subtle heat, scattering fresh chives for a delicate herbal note, and dusting with additional black pepper to intensify the overall flavor profile.
Notes
- Avocado Ripeness Check: Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy, ensuring a creamy texture without browning.
- Bacon Crispness Technique: Pat bacon dry before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent excessive splattering in the skillet.
- Egg Cooking Precision: Use a non-stick pan and medium-low heat for perfectly cooked eggs without burning or overcooking the delicate yolk.
- Toast Texture Hack: Brush bread with olive oil and toast until golden-brown edges for extra crunch and enhanced flavor absorption.
