Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add turkey bacon slices. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Cook the eggs to your preference, sunny side up or over easy, for about 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden. Optionally, you can use a toaster or an oven set to broil.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
On a plate, arrange a handful of spinach and cherry tomatoes to create a fresh salad base.
Serve the eggs alongside the turkey bacon. Spread the mashed avocado over the toasted whole grain bread slices.
Arrange the eggs, bacon, and toast on the plate next to the spinach salad. Optionally, garnish with black pepper or fresh herbs such as parsley or chives.
