Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pieces bacon slices
- 1 piece cheddar cheese slice
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Step 2
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado, and mash with a fork until smooth to make a spread.
Step 3
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil or butter to coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact. Cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
While the eggs are cooking, cook the bacon slices in another skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain excess grease on paper towels.
Step 6
Place one cooked egg on a plate as the base, and spread a layer of avocado on top.
Step 7
Layer with one slice of cheddar cheese and the cooked bacon slices.
Step 8
Top with the second cooked egg, yolk side facing down.
Step 9
Serve immediately for a delicious and hearty low carb breakfast sandwich.
