But it’s not just a mom-hack breakfast. It’s hearty, super flavorful, and can be dressed up or down depending on your mood (or what you have in the fridge). Whether you’re feeding picky kids or brunching with your bestie, this is one of those dishes that hits the spot—and fast.

And yes, it is healthy. yes, it tastes amazing. And yes, you can totally make this even if you’re brand new to cooking. Let’s get into it.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Avocado Bacon and Egg Toasts

Here’s everything you need to make this delicious breakfast happen:

  • 2 slices of rustic, whole grain, or sourdough bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice (helps keep it bright and green)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or more if you’re like me and love salty avocado)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 2 large eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled — your call!)
  • ½ teaspoon butter or olive oil (for cooking the eggs)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, but a fave in our house)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or fresh parsley for garnish

Kid Tip: Leave out the red pepper flakes if your little ones aren’t into spicy food.

Step-by-Step: How to Make the Best Avocado Bacon and Egg Toasts

This is such a simple breakfast, but the flavor payoff is huge. Here’s how I make it at home on a typical busy weekday.

1. Make the Avocado Mash

Bowl of freshly mashed avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper on a white kitchen counter

Mash one ripe avocado in a small bowl with:

  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Set it aside while everything else cooks. You can also add a sprinkle of garlic powder or cumin if you’re feeling a little extra.

2. Cook the Bacon

Crispy bacon cooking in a black cast-iron skillet on a stovetop
  • Use a skillet over medium heat.
  • Flip occasionally until it’s crispy on both sides (about 8–10 minutes).
  • Drain on paper towels.

Sometimes I’ll bake a whole sheet of bacon on the weekend and reheat it during the week—game changer.

3. Toast the Bread

You’ve got two options:

  • Toss it in a toaster
  • Or for a buttery finish, toast it in a pan with a dab of butter or drizzle of olive oil

Whole grain adds more fiber and keeps me full longer, but sourdough? Total comfort food.

4. Cook Your Eggs Your Way

This is your moment of egg-expression. Here’s how to choose your style:

  • Fried Eggs: Heat butter/oil, crack the eggs in, and cook until the whites are just set. I like mine sunny-side up with a runny yolk—pure gold.
  • Poached Eggs: Swirl a pot of simmering water with vinegar and gently drop in the eggs for 3–4 minutes.
  • Scrambled Eggs: Whisk with a splash of milk and cook low and slow for creamy curds.

5. Assemble Like a Pro

Now comes the fun part:

  1. Spread the mashed avocado onto your toasted bread.
  2. Lay down two slices of crispy bacon per toast.
  3. Top each with a warm, freshly cooked egg.
  4. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, chopped herbs, or more black pepper.

Optional but amazing: a little grated Parmesan or drizzle of hot honey.

Common Questions About Avocado Bacon and Egg Toasts

Is avocado toast with egg and bacon healthy?

Totally! You’re getting:

  • Healthy fats from avocado

  • Even a touch of pesto!

Is it OK to eat avocado toast every day?

If your budget allows and you love it, go for it! Avocados are full of potassium, fiber, and monounsaturated fats.

How does Gordon Ramsay make avocado toast?

Gordon keeps it simple but layered: crusty bread, creamy avocado with lemon and chili, and usually a perfectly poached egg. You can definitely channel your inner Ramsay with this recipe.

Is this breakfast good for weight loss?

Yes! It’s filling and nutrient-dense. Pair it with some greens or fruit, and it’s a solid choice.

Can I eat eggs and avocados every day?

You can—unless your doctor says otherwise. They’re both incredibly nutrient-rich. Eggs are great for protein and B12; avocados have fiber and good fats.

Serving Tips: Make It a Full Meal

Want to build it out a bit?

  • Add a side of fresh fruit (berries or orange slices)
  • Serve with a small smoothie
  • Pair with baby spinach tossed in lemon and olive oil

This toast also makes a fab lunch or weekend brunch board with different toppings: feta, smoked salmon, tomatoes, or arugula.

Storing Leftovers & Making Ahead

  • Avocado mash: Add extra lemon juice, press plastic wrap directly on top, and refrigerate for 1 day.
  • Cooked bacon: Lasts 3–4 days in a sealed container. Reheat in a dry pan for max crispiness.
  • Eggs: Better made fresh, but scrambled eggs reheat okay.
  • Toast: Toast only when ready to eat—no one likes soggy bread!

Pro Tip: Prep the components in advance for a 5-minute breakfast on busy mornings.

Fun Variations for the Whole Family

Make it your own with these spins:

  • Southwest Style: Add black beans, corn, and a sprinkle of queso fresco.
  • Mediterranean: Top with feta, olives, and cucumbers.
  • Sweet & Savory: Add sliced strawberries and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
  • Kid-friendly: Skip the bacon and egg, add sliced banana and honey (yes, really—it’s amazing).
