A simple yet delicious avocado on toast with egg and bacon shards. It's a great, filling breakfast that's full of protein.
Treating myself to avocado on toast has been on my breakfast to-do list for months.
The main reason I've put it off is knowing that avocados need to be counted on a Slimming World plan.
However, this is for an average avocado to protect your weight loss. And we all know that when it comes to each individual fruit and vegetable, they're never the same size.
How Many Syns In An Avocado?

*Any syn values are personal estimates and not verified by Slimming World.
So, as you may know, Slimming World class an avocado as 14 syns. However, I much prefer to weigh my avocado flesh and calculate Syns per calories.
If you're not aware, on a Slimming World plan, in most cases, 20 calories equals 1 Syn. Yet, sometimes this is not the case, especially when lower fat foods are involved. You really must refer to your Slimming World app or their Snack calculator for paid members only.
And as 1g of avocado is on average 1.6 calories, each 30g means abut 2.5 syns. The avocado I used excluding the stone and skin weighed at 90g, making it jus over 7 Syns. This is far less eyewatering, so always weigh your avocado.
What Wholemeal Bread Can I Use For Avocado on past With Egg?

When it comes to eating bread on Slimming World, there are many wholemeal brands that can be used as part of your Healthy Extra B. Note, I always follow their Extra Easy plan and almost always buy wholemeal thins. This is, of course, for your daily fibre.
I usually by these only because I tend to find them reduced in bulk, then freeze them until I'm ready to defrost and eat. They are perfect for avocado on toast with egg. In fact, they're great with anything on toast.
I use one pair of thins. But, you can usually have two mini slices of wholemeal bread or one large one. And if not using these as your Healthy Extra B, you will need to count them as 5 Syns.
How I Poach My Eggs For Avocado on Toast
When it comes to poaching eggs, these days there are only two methods I use. This is to use poachpods or my Tefal toast and bean or egg poacher. I mostly use the latter as I can toast my thins at the same time.
Both methods require a spray or Frylight in each to prevent sticking. But I find myself using the latter as I don't have to wait to boil a big pan of water.
The toaster comes with a lidded compartment on the side which only requires a dash of water. Then spray the non-stick mini pan with Frylight, add your egg, then place the lid on top. And after pressing the egg and bean button, it will be done in about 2 minutes.
How To Make My Avocado on Toast
Ingredients
- Frylight (if using poach pods or the Toast N' Bean egg poacher on the toaster
- 1 avocado (mine was 90g = 7 Syns)
- 1 Wholemeal thin (a pair of thins)
- 2 eggs
- ½ lemon, juice only
- 2 pinches of Cornish sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 pinches of dried chilli flakes
- 2 bacon medallions (all fat removed), grilled and broken into shards
Method
First, slice, stone and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl.
Then add the lemon juice.
Next, mash up the avocado and lemon juice with a fork.
Once mashed well, stir in the sea salt and chilli flakes.
Toast the wholemeal bread you're using as part of allowance.
Plate up and then transfer the avocado to the toast. (Remember, I poach my eggs at the same time as my thins are toasting in my Tefal Toast n' Bean toaster).
Spread the avocado out on your toast and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
Now add your poached egg on top and sprinkle with broken up lean bacon shards.
