Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe avocados
- 4 Whole grain bread slices
- 4 slices Bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Start by cooking the bacon: heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon strips and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the avocado spread: cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden and crisp.
Drizzle the toasted bread with a light coating of olive oil.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each slice of toasted bread.
Break each cooked bacon strip in half and place two halves on top of each avocado toast.
Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over each toast for a bit of heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
