Everything Avocado Toast with a 6-Minute Egg and Crispy Bacon
Avocado toast has become a staple breakfast and brunch item, loved by many for its creamy texture and healthy fats. But why should we only enjoy it when we're out at a restaurant? This avocado toast with a 6-minute egg and crispy bacon is sure to satisfy all your breakfast cravings.
First things first, let's talk about the avocado. Choose a ripe avocado that is soft to the touch but not too mushy. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to give it a tangy flavor. (Tip, skip the salt and pepper seasoning and go straight for the Trader Joes Everything But The Bagel Seasoning!)
Next, let's move on to the bacon. Cook the bacon in a pan until crispy, then transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Now, for the star of the show - the 6-minute egg. Bring a pot of water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Gently lower the egg into the water with a spoon and let it cook for exactly 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, remove the egg from the water and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water. Let it sit in the ice water for a minute to stop the cooking process and make it easier to peel.
Now it's time to assemble your avocado toast. Toast your bread to your desired level of crispiness and then spread the mashed avocado on top. Place the crispy bacon on top of the avocado, and then carefully peel and slice the 6-minute egg in half. Place the egg on top of the bacon and season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper or more of that delicious Everything But The Bagel Seasoning.
And there you have it, avocado toast with a 6-minute egg and crispy bacon. The combination of creamy avocado, crispy bacon, and runny egg yolk is simply irresistible. This breakfast is not only delicious but it's also packed with protein and healthy fats to fuel your day. So, go ahead and try it out - your taste buds will thank you!
