Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Avocados (ripe but firm)
  • Bacon (sugar-free if strict keto)
  • Eggs (2 per bowl is ideal)
  • Baby spinach or mixed greens
  • Cherry tomatoes (optional, for freshness and color)
  • Green onion or chives (optional, for bite)
  • Lemon or lime (a squeeze brightens the avocado)
  • Mayonnaise or full-fat Greek yogurt (optional dollop)
  • Cheese (shredded cheddar, feta, or cotija; optional)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Everything bagel seasoning, smoked paprika, or red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon: Add bacon to a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel. Save 1–2 teaspoons of bacon fat in the pan.
  2. Sauté the greens: In the same skillet, add a handful of spinach to the bacon fat and cook 30–60 seconds until just wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove to your bowl.
  3. Cook the eggs your way: Use the same pan and fat to fry, scramble, or soft-scramble your eggs. For fried, cook 2–3 minutes until whites set; flip if you like them over-easy.
  4. Prep the avocado: Halve, pit, and cube or slice the avocado. Squeeze lemon or lime over the top and add a pinch of salt.
  5. Assemble: In a bowl, layer spinach, eggs, chopped bacon, and avocado. Add cherry tomatoes and green onion if using.
  6. Finish with flavor: Drizzle a little olive oil or add a small dollop of mayo or yogurt. Sprinkle cheese, everything bagel seasoning, smoked paprika, or red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  7. Serve warm: Eat right away while the eggs and bacon are hot and the avocado is cool and creamy.
