Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 large Eggs
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Meanwhile, in a small pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into a cup and gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for soft poached eggs, or a bit longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado, then stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves.
In the same frying pan used for the bacon, add a teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the spinach leaves until wilted, about 2 minutes.
To assemble, spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Top each toast with a layer of sautéed spinach, followed by half of the crispy bacon and poached egg on each slice.
Divide the cherry tomato halves between the two toasts.
Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a little extra salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
