Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 slices of bacon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by slicing the avocado, chopping fresh herbs, and setting out salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with residual bacon fat, toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- In a separate non-stick pan, crack the eggs and cook them to your preference - sunny side up or over easy recommended for best flavor and presentation.
- Arrange the toasted bread slices on serving plates and layer with sliced avocado.
- Place a cooked egg on top of each bread slice, allowing the yolk to slightly spread over the avocado.
- Crumble or place the cooked bacon pieces alongside or on top of the eggs.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while eggs and bacon are still warm for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor profile - farm-fresh eggs and artisan bread make a significant difference.
- Control your bacon's crispness by monitoring heat carefully; medium heat prevents burning while ensuring perfect golden-brown texture.
- For the most visually appealing presentation, choose a bread with a sturdy structure that can hold toppings without getting soggy.
- Experiment with herb combinations - try a mix of chives and parsley for a more complex garnish flavor.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute bacon with turkey bacon or omit it for a vegetarian option.
- Ensure your skillet is properly heated before toasting bread to achieve that perfect golden-brown color and crisp texture.
- For a more indulgent version, add a sprinkle of grated cheese on top of the egg before serving for extra richness.
