Avocado Toast for Your Morning Meal

Ingredients

• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 avocado
• 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 small Roma tomato, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 2 slices Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Step 1

Warm a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until it’s just a little crispy, about 5 minutes. Take the bacon out and set it on a cutting board, but keep the bacon grease in the pan. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 2

In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix in lemon juice, minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper until it’s nice and creamy. Stir in the chopped bacon and diced tomato.

Step 3

Warm the bacon grease again over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them over easy—cook until the whites are set, about 3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another minute. Season with a little salt and pepper, then push the eggs to the side of the skillet.

Step 4

Turn the heat down a bit and add the buttered bread to the pan. Toast it lightly, about a minute, then flip each slice and top with a slice of cheese. Spread a good amount of the avocado mixture over the cheese. Cover the pan so the cheese melts and the bottom of the toast gets golden, about 2 more minutes.

Step 5

Once everything’s ready, transfer the toast to plates and top each slice with an over-easy egg. Enjoy!
