Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 slice (50g) Artisan Sourdough Bread Thickly sliced for a sturdy base.
  • 2 strips (60g) Thick-Cut Bacon Cooked until deeply browned and wavy.
  • 1/2 medium (75g) Hass Avocado Mashed.
  • 1 large (50g) Egg Cooked sunny-side-up.
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed.
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Olive Oil For frying the egg.
  • 1 pinch Coarse Black Pepper To taste.
  • 1 pinch Flaky Sea Salt To taste.
  • 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes To taste.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Microgreens Tiny, for garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 Medium Non-Stick Skillet Essential for perfectly rendering bacon and frying the egg.
  • 1 Toaster To achieve sturdy, golden bread.

Method
 

Preparation and Assembly
  1. Place the 2 strips of thick-cut bacon into a cold skillet, then turn the heat to medium. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply browned, wavy, and incredibly crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the scooped avocado, lemon juice, and a tiny pinch of salt. Mash with a fork until thick and creamy, leaving a few chunks. Set aside.
  3. Place your thick slice of artisan sourdough bread into a toaster or toast it directly in a warm pan for 2 minutes per side until deeply golden.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack the egg into the hot oil. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until you achieve slightly crisped white edges and a bright orange, runny yolk.
  5. Spread the bright green mashed avocado over the toast. Slide the sunny-side-up egg onto the center, and place the wavy bacon beside it. Garnish with coarse black pepper, flaky sea salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and microgreens.

Notes

Cold Pan for Bacon: Always start thick-cut bacon in a cold pan to render the fat completely.
Hot Oil for Egg Whites: To get crisped white edges on the egg, the olive oil must be hot before cracking the egg.
