Instructions
- Step 1: Cook 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

- Step 3: While eggs cook, slice 1 medium avocado (about 1/2 cup) and season with a pinch of salt. Divide cooked bacon and avocado slices between two plates.
- Step 4: Carefully transfer eggs to plates and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (optional).
