This is a great breakfast for a lazy weekend. The salty bacon, oily avocado and sweet tomatoes go perfectly together. Serve with some toasted sourdough bread and rocket leaves to make it a more substantial brunch. To make it veggie friendly, replace the bacon for large mushrooms. Next time your partner has a birthday, or there's a special occasion to celebrate, serve this as breakfast in bed - it'll go down a treat. It also makes a great lunch served with some chips or crisps and the avocado adds a tasty twist and bit of green to your normal bacon sarnie.
