Ingredients

1 small/medium avocado, peeled, seeded and cut in chunks

Juice of 1 lime

2 – 3 blades chadon beni

Salt and black pepper

½ small red onion, diced

4 – 6 slices of bacon

6 – 8 white button mushrooms, sliced

Pinch of red pepper flakes

1 medium tomato, sliced

1. Place the avocado in a small bowl and add the lime juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a fork. Add the chadon beni and red onions. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
2. Cut the bacon slices in half and fry until desired crispness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms in the bacon fat. Season with a touch of salt and pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Remove from pan.
4. If using fried eggs, cook the eggs in the same pan. Toast the sourdough bread slices.
