Ingredients
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 large Eggs
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into a cup and gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for soft poached eggs, or a bit longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 3
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado, then stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 4
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
Step 5
Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves.
Step 6
In the same frying pan used for the bacon, add a teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the spinach leaves until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Step 7
To assemble, spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Step 8
Top each toast with a layer of sautéed spinach, followed by half of the crispy bacon and poached egg on each slice.
Step 9
Divide the cherry tomato halves between the two toasts.
Step 10
Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a little extra salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
