Avocado, Bacon, Turkey & Egg Toast

Everyone needs an easy, go to item for breakfast or brunch.  These toast are it for me!  They are big on flavor and can be made in a snap.  Round out the meal with some roasted potatoes, fruit slices or even a salad. 

4 Thinly Sliced Pieces of Sourdough Bread
1 Large Avocado - Really Ripe
4 Slices Roasted Turkey
4 Thick Slices Bacon
4 Eggs 
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Optional: Sliced Tomatoes


In a medium-large skillet cook the bacon over medium heat.  You will want the bacon crispy, so about 4 minutes per side.  Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. It will get a bit crispier as it sits.

Peel and seed the avocado.  Dice the avocado and place in a bowl.  Add a pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper.  With a fork mash the avocado until it becomes a chunky paste.  Set aside.

Slice the sourdough bread into about 1/2 inch thick pieces.  Lightly toast the bread.  Set aside.

Drain the bacon fat from the skillet leaving about 1 - 2 Tbsp of bacon fat to fry your eggs in.  With the skillet over medium heat, gently crack the eggs and add them in, keeping each egg separate.  Season each egg with a tiny pinch of salt and a touch of pepper.  For over-medium eggs cook on one side approximately 2 - 3 minutes.  You will want the whites to not be completely set.  Gentle flip the eggs and cook for another minute or 2 more.  Remove the eggs from the skillet.

While the eggs are cooking start assembling the rest of the toast.  Spread a quarter of the avocado mash on each piece of bread.  If you are using tomato slices add about 2 slices on top of the avocado. Then add a slice of turkey. Cut each piece of bacon into 2 pieces and place 2 pieces on top of the turkey.  Top each piece of toast with a fried egg and serve.
