Avocado with Egg and Canadian Bacon

While a recipe is full of quantities, measurements, and instructions, it can be more than just a formula. Often, a recipe can be associated with a memory, a place or a special time so a  personal story can be attached to the recipe. This photo begins the story.

My friend's 13 year old granddaughter created this wonderful breakfast for her recently. It was a wonderful reprieve for my friend as they were facing a crisis being in an area surrounded by wildfires. So what a treat for her a bagel topped with an avocado mash, a fried egg and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Really simple ingredients but when drizzled with balsamic took the meal to a whole new level. Thanks Allie for the idea.

Cook's Notes:This meal is packed with lots of protein, loads of flavor and a variety of textures. I used whole wheat toast for the base but a bagel  or English muffin works too.

• 2 pieces of Canadian bacon 
• Drizzle of dark balsamic vinegar (use good quality)
