• ·3 strips pastured bacon
• ·2 large pastured eggs
• ·½ ripe Hass avocado
• ·Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• ·Fresh chives or parsley, to garnish (optional)

1. 1 Lay the bacon strips in a cold cast-iron skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook 3–4 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
2. 2 Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet.
3. 3 Crack the eggs directly into the warm fat over medium-low heat. Cook 2–3 minutes for runny yolks. For set yolks, cover the pan and cook 1 minute more.
4. 4 While the eggs cook, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and score the flesh with a knife. Season with a pinch of salt.
5. 5 Arrange bacon, eggs, and avocado on a plate. Season generously, garnish with chives, and serve immediately.
