• 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or your choice)
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 2 slices of bacon
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh herbs (parsley or chives, for garnish)
• Lemon juice (optional, for extra freshness)

Directions

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2. Toast the Bread: Toast your bread slices until golden and crispy.
3. Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
4. Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt butter or heat olive oil. Fry or scramble the eggs to your preferred doneness.
5. Assemble the Toasts: Spread mashed avocado onto each toasted bread slice. Top with crispy bacon and cooked eggs.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
