COOK MODE
Instructions

- Using the same pan, reduce heat to medium and crack in the eggs. Fry them in the bacon fat for 3 minutes, or until the white is set, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Set aside with the bacon.
- Season the avocado halves with salt and pepper and spread each with 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise.
- Fill two of the avocado half with 3 pieces cos lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of cooked bacon, 1 fried egg, and another pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the two remaining avocado halves on top to close your avocado BLT, garnish each avocado BLT with the sesame seeds and eat and enjoy.
