Instructions

Step 1: Toast the Bread

Toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown and crispy.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Step 3: Fry the Eggs

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your desired doneness. For a sunny-side-up egg, cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. For a more well-done egg, flip and cook for another minute.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Prepare the Avocado Spread

While the eggs are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5: Assemble the Toast

Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.
Top with the fried egg, then add the crispy bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, and any other desired toppings.
Garnish with red pepper flakes, cilantro or parsley, and drizzle with hot sauce, if using.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately and enjoy your California-style fried egg avocado toast with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for the perfect meal.

Notes

Use a Ripe Avocado: The avocado should be ripe and soft to the touch but not mushy. This will give you the perfect creamy texture for spreading.
Crispy Turkey Bacon: For extra flavor and crunch, make sure the turkey bacon is nice and crispy. You can cook it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to save time.
Customize the Toppings: Feel free to add extras like fresh arugula, feta cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
Adjust the Egg Doneness: You can fry the egg to your liking, whether you prefer it sunny-side-up, poached, or scrambled.
