Bring a large pan of water to boil and season with a little salt. Use a spoon to swirl the simmering water and then crack the eggs into the water and reduce the water to a simmer. Allow the water to settle and then cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes depending on how set you prefer the yolk.

Meanwhile, place the back bacon on a baking tray and grill for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through and golden. Scoop the flesh of the avocado in to a bowl and mash with a fork, seasoning with salt and pepper.
