BLT and Avocado Bruschetta

bacon hash 5Originally from Nigella Lawson
Yield 2 servings

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
5 pieces antibiotic free bacon (I used Applegate Farms)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large beef steak tomato
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3-4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
a few grindings of fresh, cracked pepper

1 french baguette
1 ripe avocado

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut french bread, on an angle, and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Brush, lightly, with olive oil.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. I drained a little of the bacon fat. When the bacon is done, add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire, and the parsley (save a little to sprinkle on top).

While the tomatoes cook, put the bread in the oven (5 minutes).

Transfer bacon mixture to a bowl and season with pepper. Mash the avocado.

Spread the mashed avocado onto the bread. Sprinkle a little salt onto the avocado. Top with the hash and enjoy!!!
