Are you looking for something new and different for breakfast? I have a good suggestion with this delicious, somewhat healthy, recipe.
This terrific idea came to me through an email from Food.com. I immediately knew I wanted to make this because of three favorite ingredients that I never tire of eating; avocado, bacon and Michigan maple syrup. The bread is secondary as it is just a vessel to hold all of these goodies.
Avocado, Bacon and Maple Syrup on Toast, Adapted
- baguette of your choice – I used a crusty multigrain or try Overnight Crusty Baguette for homemade
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- other seasonings as desired
- bacon crisply fried, drained and broken in half (it’s best not to use a thick bacon such as applewood)
- real maple syrup to drizzle
Cut the baguette into 1/2 to 1-inch thick slices and toast. I like to use my Breville toaster oven as I don’t have to preheat and it’s a lot quicker to toast the bread than in my oven.
Fry the bacon until it is crisp and drain it on paper towels; tear in half. You could also crumble up the bacon but the presentation will not be as pretty.
Mash up the avocados, add the lemon juice and season to taste. I did not add any seasonings as the combination of fresh avocados, bacon and syrup was so flavorful nothing else was needed.
Divide the avocado mixture evenly among the bread slices and top with the bacon. Drizzle a little maple syrup on top and serve.

What a lovely breakfast this was for a snowy, winter morning. I’m sharing this with my friends Angie @ Fiesta Friday #114 and Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook.
Looks delicious! How can you go wrong with bread, avocado and bacon? Yum.😊
You can’t 🙂
Now, you have my attention 🙂 This sounds delightful and yummy and delicious 🙂
The ingredients paired well together, especially with the finishing touch of maple syrup 🙂
Such a wonderful combination. I will definitely copy that soon! 🙂
Thanks – I hope you do try it Ronit – it was a nice treat this morning 🙂
I would easily eat this for breakfast any day! Yum! 🙂
These were so good Petra as I knew they would be. The combination of flavors really made my breakfast special. Yes, I will be having this again tomorrow morning 🙂
Yum! 🙂
This is an amazing suggestion! I bet the crispy bacon must be amazing with the creamy avocado…
Thanks – I thought so too when I saw the picture/recipe. It’s a keeper for sure 🙂
What a terrific breakfast idea! My hubby is from Vermont so of course we would have to use Vermont maple syrup. 🙂
Thanks – any good maple syrup works 🙂
My mouth is watering just looking at the crispy bacon. How delicious it must be with avocado and maple syrup! 😛
Yes, it was really good Fae – a perfect breakfast treat. As a matter of fact I will enjoy it again this morning 🙂
Hmm, this looks so good, Aunt Juju. The avocado looks so creamy. The bacon must have added a good crisp to the toast. Thank you for sharing another fabulous meal. 🙂 Happy FF.
Thanks Jhuls – a simple meal but so tasty. Happy Fiesta Friday 🙂 Enjoy your week…
I love this Judi! It would be a great item for brunch.
Thanks Julie – it would be perfect for brunch and I know would be a favorite 🙂
what a fab brunch idea. I don’t eat bacon but I know the rest of my family would hoover this up.
Thanks – The crispy bacon is the best part 🙂
Looks so yummy!!!
They were – especially with the crispy bacon and maple syrup 🙂
Yummm Judi, this could possibly be my breakfast every single day, love the combo.
Thanks Loretta – these sure hit the spot for a few mornings 🙂
Wow! Sounds super yumm and perfect
They sure were Lina – a good combination 🙂
Btw Judi I am hosting a pizza challenge from the 10th of May to the 16th…will you be able to be the judge…Please let me know if you are free.
Hi Lina – I would absolutely love to (especially pizza) but unfortunately I am having trouble with my computer overheating. I have been a co-host for Angie (FF) a number of times and I recently had to cancel for April 22nd because of this problem. When I get on her site my computer locks up and always starts to overheat so I can’t comment on the posts unless I get emails like I do from you or I have the names of the blogs. I may have the problem solved by then but I would hate to leave you “in limbo”. This does happen on other blogs too… Thanks for asking as I am sure it would be a lot of fun judging all of the different pizzas, a favorite comfort food 🙂
No problem! I hold such challenges regularly so probably for the may 24th challenge or something I’ll ask you to be the judge again ☺
I hope I don’t have to buy a new computer 🙂 I don’t know that much about technology and struggle with these kind of issues!
Oh is it? How old is your computer? Blogging on tablets is actually better and much more handy.
I bought it new in Oct. 2010, Toshiba laptop with Windows 7. Just had it in the shop for 1 week and they cleaned it up, bought a hard drive and now this problem. It has been doing it a little but now it’s hard to manage. I have a lot of pictures and of course my blog has almost 900 posts so who knows???
The blog wouldn’t be a problem…you can open wordpress.com and sign in anywhere..it is all backed up…the media used in your posts is also backed up…so you really don’t need to worry. And you can always transfer data from one to another so don’t need to worry about that also…even if it crashes we can revive the data
Thanks – that’s good to know. I just don’t like limitations like this. I have been doing some research and apparently overheating is a problem. The solution???
Sometimes this heating may happen because of accumulation of dust in the cooling unit…so you should give to the supplier or a technician for service..They will clean and sometimes may replace the grease fr you…this may be one of the reasons
What a unique breakfast Judi! It sounds very tasty!
Thanks Antonia – it was 🙂
It’s not a combination I would have thought of but I bet it is delicious…how could it not be?
Me either Karen – the toasts were delicious 🙂
Wow this looks totally delicious! I love the drizzle and the flavors going on in this recipe! Wonderful and appealing pictures! A big yummm
Thank you Lynn – the avocado toasts were extra special with the bacon and maple syrup. Yum is right 🙂
I just love those flavors and they look so nice too!
I always buy too many avocados and then after using just one or two for guacamole don’t know what to do with the rest. I’ve never thought of using them like this on toasts. Great idea!
Me too Angie – avocados don’t last long on the counter so this is a great way to use them up. They were a big hit 🙂
All my favorite ingredients in one brilliant breakfast treat! Love it Judi!!!
I’m seeing more and more of avocado on toast around the internet and after seeing your version, I think it’s time to give it a try. Love your addition of bacon…that might even get my husband to give it a go!
This has become my favorite way to make avocado toast. I mean with the addition of bacon and maple syrup – yummy.
