Southern Fried Egg & Bacon Skillet with Creamy Avocado Drizzle

Ingredients

• 4 slices thick-cut bacon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 TBS heavy cream
• 1 TBS butter
• 1 tsp Salted Perfection Raleigh Select Blend
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
• 1 TBS chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Lay down the bacon slices flat and cook ‘em slow till crispy, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels but keep the fat in the pan—this is liquid gold, capisce?
2. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with heavy cream, minced garlic, Salted Perfection Raleigh Select Blend, and cracked black pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside. This sauce is straight-up money, no joke.
3. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add butter to the bacon fat in the skillet. Crack the eggs gently into the pan, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and cook sunny-side up until the whites are just set but yolks still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Don’t rush it — patience is a virtue in the kitchen and in life.
4. Plate the eggs and bacon together. Drizzle the creamy avocado sauce generously over the top and sprinkle with chopped chives for that fresh pop of color and flavor.
5. Serve hot, grab a fork, and dive in like you mean it. Remember: good food is the foundation of a good day.
