Follow The Directions

01

Step

Crisp the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry the turkey bacon until it achieves a slightly crunchy texture, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a cutting board and reserve the rendered grease in the pan. Finely chop the bacon into tiny pieces.

02

Step

Prepare the Bread: Generously butter both sides of the bread slices. This will ensure a golden-brown and flavorful toast.

03

Step

Craft the Avocado Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the avocado, lemon juice, minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a creamy avocado spread is formed. Incorporate the chopped bacon and tomato, stirring to ensure even distribution.

04

Step

Fry the Eggs: Reheat the reserved bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat. Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them over easy until the whites are firm, about 3 minutes. Slide a spatula under each egg and carefully flip. Continue cooking for approximately 1 minute more. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Move the eggs to the side of the skillet to keep warm.

05

Step

Assemble the Toast: Reduce the heat to low and place the buttered bread into the skillet. Toast lightly, around 1 minute. Flip the bread and place a slice of cheese on the toasted sides. Liberally spread the avocado mixture on top of the cheese. Cover the skillet to expedite the melting of the cheese and cook until the bottom of the toast is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Remove the toast from the pan and arrange on plates. Top each toast with a perfectly cooked over-easy egg.

Spice it Up: Don't hesitate to experiment with the spices in the avocado spread to tailor the flavor profile to your liking. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add an extra kick.
Cheese Variations: Feel free to substitute the Colby-Monterey Jack cheese with your favorite cheese variety. Pepper Jack or sharp Cheddar can provide interesting flavor contrasts.
Bread Selection: Choose a bread that complements the other ingredients. Sourdough or whole-wheat bread are excellent choices for a heartier toast.
Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for an added burst of freshness.
