Ingredients
4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
1 to 1 ½ ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 green onions, sliced
4 slices toasted whole grain bread
Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radishes
Directions
- Place eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then turn off heat, cover and let sit for 10 to 12 minutes (you’re looking for fully cooked eggs with a firm yolk). Transfer eggs straight to a bowl filled with ice water and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
- Crumble the cooled bacon into bite-sized pieces and add to a small mixing bowl.
- Add 1 avocado, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mustard and green onions. Using a fork, mix and mash the salad until it’s almost the desired consistency (it’ll break up a bit more when you add the eggs).
- Remove eggs from the ice bath, peel, cut into quarters and add to the avocado mixture. Mix until it’s your desired texture, adding up to 1/2 extra avocado, if desired.
- Divide salad between toasted bread, and top with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and/or radishes, if desired. Enjoy!
