01 / WHAT YOU NEED

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

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating 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

Next, 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!

Try pairing this with a side of fresh fruit or a soft-boiled egg for extra protein. A sprinkle of chili flakes or some fresh herbs like cilantro can add a flavorful kick. It also goes well with a cup of your favorite morning beverage.

Storage & leftovers

If you have leftover avocado, store it in an airtight container with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. It’s best to consume the toast immediately, as the bread can become soggy if left for too long.
