Avocado with Bacon

• 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 4 slices thick-cut bacon
• flaky salt
• black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook bacon in a cold cast iron over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

2. 2

   Crumble or chop the cooked bacon.

3. 3

   Halve the avocado safely: cut around the pit lengthwise with the avocado on a cutting board, not in your hand. Twist the halves apart.

4. 4

   Remove the pit by scooping it out with a spoon. Do not whack it with a knife.

5. 5

   Pile crumbled bacon into each avocado half, filling the pit cavity.

6. 6

   Finish with flaky salt and a crack of pepper. Eat with a spoon.
