Ingredients

Produce

  • 1
    1 whole Avocado

Meat

  • 1
    4 strips Bacon Strips

Bread

  • 1
    2 slices Slices of bread

Condiments

  • 1
    0.25 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2
    0.1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3
    0.1 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

1

Prepare Bacon

Place bacon strips in a cold skillet. This helps render the fat slowly for crispier bacon. Do not overcrowd the pan. If needed, cook in batches.

2

Cook Bacon

Cook bacon over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. The bacon should be a deep golden brown and crisp.

3

Drain Bacon

Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. The paper towel will absorb the oil, making the bacon less greasy.

Prepare Avocado

While the bacon cooks, slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Use a spoon or knife to carefully remove the pit.

5

Mash Avocado

Lightly mash the avocado with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix well. The lemon juice will prevent the avocado from browning and add flavor. You want the avocado mash to be a little chunky, not completely smooth.

6

Toast Bread

If desired, lightly toast the bread. Toasting adds a nice crunch and warmth. This step is optional.

7

Assemble Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toast slices. Be generous with the avocado for a flavorful bite.

8

Add Bacon

Top each toast with two slices of the cooked bacon. You can break the bacon in half for easier presentation.

9

Serve

Serve immediately and enjoy your bacon avocado toast while it is fresh. Garnish with a pinch of black pepper or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Recipe Tips

  • For best results, use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure.
  • Store any leftover mashed avocado in an airtight container in the fridge to minimize browning. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the avocado before sealing the container.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you don't have a skillet, bacon can be cooked in the oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Always practice safe food handling. Wash your hands before and after handling food.
  • When cooking with a skillet, be careful, as the pan and oil will be hot.
