breakfast for dinner: eggs in a basket with garlic bread and avocado

 

i decided to go out of my comfort zone of making traditional dinner meals by making breakfast instead. i recently have a new obsession with runny yolks after eating a poached egg during a cooking class at culinarie. this recipe seemed like the obvious choice to please my palate. you really can't go wrong when there is avocado, turkey bacon, a runny yolk and garlic bread to soak it all up.

ingredients:
thick slice of bread (i used texas toast from trader joes)
1 egg
slices of avocado
garlic powder
s&p
butter
turkey bacon

directions:

melt butter in non-stick skillet over medium heat. using a round cookie cutter, cut out a hole in the middle of the bread (we only had a heart shaped cookie cutter and it worked fine). add the slice of bread to the pan, sprinkle with garlic powder and cook until golden brown and toasty - about 3 minutes. flip bread over (season with more garlic powder) and crack egg into the open hole of the bread. season egg with s&p. cook for about 3 minutes, until egg has begun to set. flip again one more and let cook for an additional two minutes - egg will be runny and beautiful. top with avocado slices and serve with apples slices and turkey bacon.
