Avocado Toast with Coconut Bacon
Guys. Meet my new obsession. Avocado Toast with Coconut Bacon. A few weeks ago I brought brunch to my moms’ group at church, and I wanted to mix things up a bit. A friend had just brought toast and jam, complete with toaster, and it was a lot of fun. Not to be a total copycat, I chose to go the savory route and do an avocado toast bar. In addition to the toast + avocado combination, I brought hemp seeds, black sesame seeds, chipotle breakfast toppers, and coconut bacon to top them. You guys, the coconut bacon + avocado combo was hands down the winner. SO good. Creamy avocado with a salty, crispy bite—at the risk of using a really overused word—it’s AWESOME!
Coconut Bacon
Last week I shared my recipe for coconut bacon. While not a tradition bacon—I mean, it’s made out of coconut flakes!—it has all the right flavor notes. It pairs wonderfully with the creaminess of the avocado, and makes it feel a little more like breakfast (traditionalist right here!)!
Avocado Toast
Avocado toast is the ultimate in hipster breakfasts. I, however, am not a hipster. At all. And I prefer my avocado toast for a light lunch. I struggle to get on board with a savory breakfast, sticking to chocolate tahini on toast before 8am most mornings. But give me a savory slice of avocado toast for lunch and I am happy girl! While David follows firmly in his mama’s footsteps, Jonny is a boy after Irving’s savory breakfast heart. For the longest time I couldn’t get him to eat anything at breakfast, until realizing that he just wanted something savory. He happily requests avocado toast daily now. Apparently he is the true hipster of the family!
Serving a Crowd
Want to make an avocado toast bar for a group? Pre mash the avocado with some lime juice, salt and pepper, and put it in an airtight jar (the less air space in the jar, the better, to keep it green!). You can even add a clove of minced garlic if you want—yum!
