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

boil: 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: Crumble the cooled bacon into bite-sized pieces and add to a small mixing bowl.

mash: 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).
