Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado Spread

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon (or turkey/tempeh bacon) until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the thick-cut bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread the avocado mixture generously on each slice of toasted bread. Top with poached eggs, crispy bacon, and crumbled ricotta salata.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle fresh chives and red pepper flakes on top for garnish. Serve immediately.
