Choosing the Best Ingredients

Now, the most important step in preparing this toast is choosing quality ingredients. Here’s what to look for:

Bread: The Foundation

Good toast starts with great bread. Sourdough is the best choice because it’s sturdy, slightly tangy, and crisps up beautifully when toasted. Look for a freshly baked loaf from a bakery if possible! I love to bake my own sourdough too (recipe is coming  )!

Avocado: Creamy & Dreamy

A perfectly ripe avocado should give slightly when pressed but not feel mushy. If it’s too firm, let it ripen on the counter for a day or two.

Tomato: Fresh & Juicy

Choose ripe, preferably in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom tomatoes are a great option because they’re naturally sweet and vibrant, plus, they are available year-round in the grocery stores. 

Bacon: Crispy & Smoky

Thick-cut bacon works best because it crisps up without drying out. Cook it low and slow to render the fat and get that perfect crunch.

Egg: Runny & Rich

A fresh, high-quality egg makes a huge difference. For the perfect sunny-side-up egg, you’d want to cook it on low heat with a lid on to set the whites while keeping the yolk gloriously runny.

Feta Cheese: Tangy & Salty

Feta crumbles add a briny contrast to the creamy avocado and sweet tomato. However, if you prefer a milder option, try goat cheese.

Red Pepper Flakes: A Little Heat

Just a pinch of red pepper flakes brings warmth without overpowering the flavors.

Fresh Herbs: The Final Touch

For this particular toast, dill is my favorite, but parsley, chives, or basil also work beautifully.

How to Make the Best Breakfast Toast

Step 1: Toast the Bread

Toast your sourdough until golden and crisp. If you want extra flavor, toast it in a pan with a little butter or olive oil.

Step 2: Mash the Avocado

Scoop the avocado into a bowl, mash it with a fork, and season with salt and pepper. Keep it chunky or smooth—it’s up to you!

Step 3: Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Step 4: Fry the Egg

Reduce the heat to low, crack the egg into the same skillet, and cover with a lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.

Step 5: Assemble the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado over the toast, top with a thick tomato slice, and layer on the crispy bacon.

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches

Place the fried egg on top, sprinkle with crumbled feta, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and your favorite fresh herbs.

Step 7: Enjoy!

Slice, take a bite, and enjoy the perfect mix of crunchy, creamy, salty, and spicy flavors.
