Key Ingredients
- Bacon. Cooked and chopped. Use your preferred cooking method or fully cooked bacon.

How to make Bacon Avocado Toast
- Step 1: Mash the avocado. Season the avocado with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then mash with a fork.
- Step 2: Spread on the toast. Spoon the mashed avocado onto the toasted bread and spread evenly.
- Step 3: Add the chopped bacon, crumbled feta, and sliced scallions, then drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve right away. Add a sprinkle of sunflower seeds for crunch, if desired.
Expert Tips
- Mash the avocado right before serving. Season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then mash with a fork so it stays creamy with a little texture.
- For extra-crispy toast, use a skillet. Lightly butter both sides of the bread and toast it in a pan until golden and crisp. A toaster works perfectly when you’re short on time.
- Don’t overload the toppings. Scatter the bacon, feta, and scallions evenly so every bite gets a little of everything without weighing down the toast.
- Add the balsamic glaze last. Drizzle lightly just before serving so the toast stays crisp and the glaze doesn’t overpower the other flavors.
- Serve immediately. Avocado toast is best right after assembling, while the bread is still crisp and the avocado is fresh.
Bacon Avocado Toast FAQs

Bacon Avocado Toast Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 medium/large ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoon feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 2 slices bread, toasted
- bottled balsamic glaze, for finishing
- salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
- sunflower seeds for garnish , optional
Instructions
- Cook your bacon the way you normally would. I prefer to cook mine on the stovetop, starting by laying the bacon in a cold nonstick frying pan, and frying over low heat- flipping frequently with tongs until just crisp, then draining on paper towel.
- While your bacon cooks, toast 2 slices of sourdough bread and set on serving plates. You can either butter them and toast in a pan, or use the toaster.
- Open your avocado, remove the skin and pit, and place on a cutting board. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mash with a fork. Thinly slice white and green parts of scallions.
- Once bacon is cooked and cooled slightly, chop it into small bite size pieces.
- Spread out the mashed and seasoned avocado evenly onto 2 slices of toasted bread.
- Top each avocado toast equally with the chopped bacon, scallions, and feta crumbles. Drizzle the top of each toast with balsamic glaze and enjoy!
Notes
- Bread: Use a sturdy bread such as sourdough, Italian, multigrain, or rye so it holds up to the toppings.
- Avocado: Use a ripe avocado and mash it just before assembling for the best color and texture.
- Extra-crispy toast: Lightly butter both sides of the bread and toast in a skillet until golden.
- Add an egg: Top with a fried or poached egg for a heartier breakfast.
- Make it vegetarian: Simply omit the bacon.
- Serving: Avocado toast is best assembled and eaten immediately so the bread stays crisp.
Sharon says
This has become one of my favorite ways to make avocado toast. I love the combination of creamy avocado, crispy bacon, salty feta, and that little sweet-tangy hit from the balsamic glaze. It feels a little more special than basic avocado toast but still takes almost no time to make.
