Avocado Toast with Bacon and Fried Egg
This loaded avocado toast stacks creamy garlic-mashed avocado, crispy oven-baked bacon, and a runny fried egg on golden buttered toast. It's a high-protein breakfast that comes together in about 25 minutes and tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. Keep reading for the full recipe and our best tips.
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados ripe, halved and pitted
- 2 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon thick-cut
- 2 slices bread sturdy, such as sourdough or country white
- 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
- ½ tablespoon parsley fresh flat-leaf, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter divided (for toasting and frying)
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 375°F / 190°C (195°C fan-forced) for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on both sides. Alternatively, toast in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the minced garlic, a generous pinch of salt, and a few cracks of black pepper. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — slightly chunky works best for toast.
- Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400°F / 200°C (205°C fan-forced) for 15–20 minutes until crispy and deep golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Melt the remaining butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry for 2–3 minutes until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for an additional 30–60 seconds.
- Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast. Top with 3 slices of bacon per toast, then place a fried egg on top. Gently pierce the yolk so it runs over the bacon and avocado. Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Finish with a final pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
