Ingredients
- 1 8-oz package turkey bacon or veggie bacon

Directions
- Place turkey bacon in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Pour eggs into the same skillet and cook, lifting edge of egg from pan with a spatula and tilting so that uncooked egg runs underneath. When mostly set, flip over and cook another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
- Toast English muffins while still warm, place chees on bottom half.
- Add tomato and basil. Divide egg into 4 pieces and place on tomato. Top with turkey bacon and mashed avocado. Place remaining muffin half on top. Serve immediately.
Chef Notes
