Ingredients for Avocado On Toast With Bacon And Maple Syrup

  • Bread
  • Avocados
  • Lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Pepper
  • 4 slices bacon

How to Make Avocado On Toast With Bacon And Maple Syrup

  1. Preheat your toaster or oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. While the oven preheats, prepare the avocado: Cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash roughly with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. You can fry it in a pan or bake it in the oven. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  4. Toast 2 slices of your favorite bread to your desired level of crispness.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread.
  6. Arrange the crispy bacon slices on top of the avocado.
  7. Drizzle generously with 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup (adjust to your preference).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
