Summary

Avocado toast is a quick and easy go-to breakfast that incorporates healthy fat, whole grains, and protein. Change things up by substituting the turkey bacon with an over-easy egg or sliced hard-boiled egg.

Complete your Plate: For a hearty, filling breakfast, add a 1/2 cup of nonfat, plain Greek yogurt topped with a handful of blueberries.

Directions

Directions

  1. Coat a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it over medium heat until hot. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy, 8 minutes, flipping the slices over halfway through. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate.

  2. Scoop out the flesh from each avocado half onto a slice of toasted bread. Mash the avocado with a fork until flattened. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

  3. Top each avocado toast with 1 slice of turkey bacon and half of the tomato slices.

    I added lemon juice to the avocado mash to lower the salt. Avocado and lemon juice are a combination. It keeps the avocado from going brown also.

    I love this recipe. It's a fast and easy breakfast for someone on the go. Or simple and enjoyable.

    I thought this was good just put two slices of turkey bacon instead of one.
