How to make avocado toast with bacon

Tips for the Best Results
- Use good bread, like sourdough or whole grain, for a hearty and nutritious base.
- Cook the bacon until crispy for the best texture contrast with the creamy avocado.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado mixture.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, prepare it just before assembling the toast.
- You can use purchased bacon bits if desired, but I do not recommend it.
Substitutions and Variations
- Turkey Bacon: Substitute regular bacon with slices of turkey bacon for a lower-fat option.
- Egg Toppings: Add a fried egg, poached eggs, or a runny egg on top for extra protein.
- Different Breads: Experiment with different types of bread, like whole grain or even marble rye toast.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or chili flakes for a bit of heat.
- Fresh Greens: Add fresh herbs, fresh cilantro, green onions, or sprouts for added freshness and flavor.
