California Benedict (avocado And Bacon) Recipe

California Benedict Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

2. 2

   Prepare the Avocado

   While the bacon is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. 3

   Toast the English Muffins

   Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown. You can use a toaster or place them under a broiler for a few minutes.

4. 4

   Poach the Eggs

   Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if desired. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

5. 5

   Assemble the Benedict

   On each toasted English muffin half, spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture. Top with crispy bacon slices and a poached egg. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped chives.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional chives if desired.
