Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 whole cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup microgreens or arugula
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well.
Toast the whole-grain bread slices to your liking either in a toaster or under a broiler.
Slice cherry tomatoes in half.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toast.
Crumble crispy turkey bacon on top of the avocado.
Arrange cherry tomato halves over the bacon and avocado.
Sprinkle microgreens or arugula on top for added freshness and nutrition.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy avocado toast with bacon.
