Add some bacon and eggs to this breakfast favorite with this light and easy recipe for bacon and egg avocado toast and start the day off right!
Yes, I know I already have at least two variations of avocado toast already, but as you know from my adventures with macaroni and cheese, when I find something I love I just can’t stop messing with it.
And I love and adore avocado toast, especially with an egg on it. And we all know how I feel about bacon.
So WHAT ON EARTH took me so long to put all these things together? You are all probably way ahead of me, but just in case, I wanted to share my current breakfast crush.
Because as it turns out, when you tinker a little with a classic, wonderful things can happen. Take the Southern daughter and her best friend, for example.
(I have one billion pictures of them but for some reason this one just speaks to me, because it is one of the 392,472 times they just sat around cracking each other up. Not to be confused with the other 183,382 they sat around bickering. I loooooooooove them.)
Anyway, even though his mama and I decided when they were ten years old that they would get married one day, they up and decided to marry other people.
This has worked out great for me, because now I have both my sweet son-in-law AND her best friends as my other children. Win!

Nope. She is his groomswoman.
Which I am relatively sure is a new spin on things, because my spell-check keeps changing “groomswoman” to “groomsman” and I have the latest version of Word. HA.
At any rate, this interesting turn of events required her to attend the bachelor party.
I was on a need-to-know basis in terms of information about this event, but I did get this picture….
…which cracked me up and brought a few happy tears to my eyes, because (ignoring the goggles, I don’t want to know) LOOK at them.
Laughing away like the goofballs that they have always been.
And after the weekend was over, I know they were both delighted that she got to crash this traditional guy event to be with her bestie, and all because he decided to tinker with tradition.
Which brings me back to bacon and egg avocado toast! (I know, but the comparison works for me so hang in there!)
Here’s how you make bacon and egg avocado toast!
Mash up an avocado with some salt and lemon juice and toast up some bread or an English muffin, and let them hang out until you are ready to assemble.
Next, you want to chop up a couple of pieces of bacon and cook them up until they are done the way you like ’em.
Scoop out the bacon and fry up an egg in the bacon drippings…soft set, well-done, however you like your eggs.
Now! Spread your bread or muffin with the avocado mixture, sprinkle on the bacon pieces, pop the egg on top and if you are feeling fancy, scatter on some parsley.
And dig in.
I can’t promise that I won’t mess around further with the deliciousness that is avocado toast, but for now I am all kinds of happy!

Hi there! I’m Kate, and I’m a recipe writer, food photographer and devoted bacon lover. I started Framed Cooks in 2009, and my mission is to create and share family-friendly recipes that make cooking both easy and fun…yes, I said FUN! My kitchen is my happy place, and I want yours to be that place too. And if you make this recipe, I would love you to tag @FramedCooks on Instagram so I can see the deliciousness!
I’m sure Adam will be happy you left the English muffin in one piece for this recipe. :) Anything with avocado is delicious in my book. Ramping it up a few notches with bacon and eggs means triple the deliciousness. I think a little cheese would send it over the top, so that’s how I’ll make mine. Keep the good things coming, Kate!
Everything is definitely better with cheese!!!! Excellent addition, as always! :)
