Ingredients
- 4 slices (about 2 oz) Bacon
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium (about 5 oz) Avocado
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook 4 slices bacon until crisp, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Step 2: Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly, and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Step 3: While eggs cook, dice 1 medium avocado (about 5 oz). Once eggs are done, transfer to plates and top each with 1/4 of the diced avocado and 2 slices of bacon.
