• 2 tablespoons hot honey

3. Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
4. Mash the avocados in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

6. Break the crispy bacon into pieces and sprinkle over the eggs.
7. Drizzle hot honey over each toast and add chili flakes if desired.

Tips for the Perfect Avocado Toast

• Choose Ripe Avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe for the best creamy texture. They should feel slightly soft when gently pressed.
• Bread Options: If artisan bread isn’t available, you can substitute with sourdough, whole grain, or your favorite type of toast.
• Egg Preference: Feel free to adjust the doneness of the eggs according to your preference. If you like a runny yolk, opt for sunny-side up, or cook them longer if you prefer firm yolks.

Recipe Swaps and Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Swap the bacon for sautéed mushrooms or grilled vegetables for a vegetarian-friendly version.
• Spicy Variation: Add more heat by sprinkling extra chili flakes or drizzling some sriracha or hot sauce over the top.
• Cheese Lovers: For an extra layer of richness, sprinkle a bit of crumbled feta or grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

Storing Leftovers

This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have any leftovers, you can store the individual components separately. Keep the mashed avocado in an airtight container in the refrigerator with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. The bacon and eggs can be stored in separate containers as well. To reassemble, simply toast new bread, and top with your prepped ingredients.

Food and Drink Pairings

Pair your Avocado Bacon and Egg Toast with a fresh fruit smoothie, iced coffee, or a refreshing glass of orange juice. If serving for brunch, a light mimosa or an herbal tea would complement this dish beautifully.
