Pan-friend egg and turkey bacon over toast with avocado and pico de gallo

So I actually made this recipe up.  And this post will be slim on pictures, because I didn't think to take pictures of the process... because I made it up, as opposed to using a recipe... but you know what?  I'm going to tell you about this recipe, because this breakfast was SO FREAKING YUMMY.

I made pan-friend eggs and turkey bacon over toast with sliced avocado and Pico de Gallo. And it was good.  Very, very good.  And very, very healthy, which makes it PHENOMENAL.

If you can, it's best to make the pico de gallo a few hours or days before so that all the flavors can come together... I found a great recipe in Real Simple magazine for pico de gallo (maybe five years ago?) and it has become my go to.  I make it all the time, but with a few modifications...

Pico de Gallo
recipe adapted from Real Simple magazine

• 1 pound plum tomatoes (approximately 4), seeded and chopped
• 1 jalapeno (seeded for less heat, if desired), finely minced
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate overnight.  ENJOY!

And now that you've made it, you can make your eggs whenever you want.  This pico is great with scrambled eggs, tortilla chips (but watch how many you eat... they are PACKED with calories), or mix with guacamole and eat with veggies.

But I used it for my very own creation... drum roll please!!!!





Pan-friend egg and turkey bacon over toast with avocado and pico de gallo
Probably inspired by someone, somewhere, but in mind, this one was ALL MINE :)

Serves one

Ingredients

• 2 whole eggs
• 1 slice wheat bread
• 2 slices turkey bacon (I used Jenni-o turkey bacon)
• pico de gallo, recipe above
• 1/4 avocado

Directions
1. Place turkey bacon on a baking sheet and bake according to directions on package
2. Toast wheat bread (if using a toaster oven, toast on both sides)
3. Place wheat bread on plate and top with turkey bacon in an X-formation
4. Meanwhile, in a frying pan, cook two whole eggs; about 1-2 minutes each side. Good luck flipping without breaking the yolk (oy).
5. Slice avocado
6. Place fried eggs on top of bacon, top with pico de gallo and avocado.
7. DEVOUR.

I served this with a fruit salad made of random fruit... good stuff.  I really really love how simple, filling and healthy this recipe is... and I'm kinda proud (retroactively) that I came up with this!

I hope you enjoy, and definitely leave comments if you ever make it - what did you change, what did you like, what didn't you like - let's refine it together!
