The steps are in the following.

Smashed Avocado Toast Recipe – Topping Preparation

1. Preparing your smashed avocado toast recipe: Firstly, you are going to need a perfectly ripe avocado to do this recipe. What we want to do with the avo before stacking it to the bread is to cut it open with your knife. Use your fork to softly smash and leave some chunks of it. However, this will also depend on how you want it to be, some prefer to lightly smash it, while there are also some who prefer it in form of a purée. Next, season your avo with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a good amount of olive oil. And there you go, you already have your smashed avocado.
2. Preparing tomatoes as a side: heat up your pan and drizzle a bit of olive oil on it, put your tomatoes in, and then season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook thoroughly until the skin has a nice char and wilt.
3. To make perfect portions of bacon in a pan, it always starts with a cold pan. Begin with placing your slices of bacon on the pan before turning on the stove. Don’t add oil in because when your bacon is cooked, it will release its natural grease. Cook it slow until the fat has rendered up. Your bacon is done when its color changes from pink to brown, a bit chewy, yet crisp on the side.

Do These Steps at the Very End for Smashed Avocado Toast Recipe

1. Brush some olive oil on both sides. Peel off one clove of garlic and crush it. Press the garlic to the sourdough bread so it will soak on the garlic flavor. While continuously pressing, gear up the griddle pan until it’s medium hot and ready to char your bread. Place your bread on it and flip it to the other side so you don’t burn the bread.
2. While you’re busy with bread, it’s also the perfect momentum to bring your pot of water to a boil. Don’t forget to salt the water. Crack the eggs open and put them in a small cup. Then, use your ladle to stir in the boiling water until it resembles a small tornado in your pot. Only then can you pour the egg. The tornado motion will keep the shape of the egg intact. Cook the eggs one by one for 2-3 minutes.
3. Stacking time: to assemble your avocado toast, please follow this order – toast, your smashed avocado, bacon, mozzarella, cress, egg, a sprinkle of olive oil, and black pepper.
