Ingredients

4 slices crusty Italian bread, cut 1" thick
4 slices bacon
2 ripe avocado
½ lime, juiced
½ teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
4 cherry tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
kosher salt + black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place parchment paper on baking sheet and lay bacon on top. Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy. Remove and place bacon on paper-lined plate. Reserve bacon grease.
Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon bacon grease. (If you don't have bacon grease, use butter). Toast the bread for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Add another tablespoon bacon grease or butter and flip the bread to toast for another 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with some salt and pepper. Add garlic and juice from ½ lime. Taste if you need more salt.
Spread each slice of toast with ½ cup of mashed avocado. Sprinkle on some tomatoes and cilantro. Break one piece of bacon in half and place on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook the bacon in the oven as you get crispy bacon that is perfect for this avocado toast recipe.
Cook the bread in the reserved bacon fat to add to the flavor.
Use quality bread that is crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside.
