Name: Avocado Toast with Bacon and Tomato
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 8 min
Total time: 18 min
Yield: Serves 2
Ingredients: 2 slices of sourdough bread (1/2 inch thick); 1 large ripe avocado; 4 slices of bacon; 1 medium tomato, sliced; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided; 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped; 2 tablespoons microgreens (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the bacon

Place bacon slices in a cold skillet, then heat over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Prepare the avocado mixture

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until slightly chunky but spreadable.
Toast the bread

Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on both sides of the bread slices. Toast in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a pan until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Assemble the toast

Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly on the toasted bread. Top with sliced tomatoes and crumbled bacon pieces.
Add the finishing touches

Sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped chives over the top. Add microgreens if using. Finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt if desired.
