Avocado, Bacon and Egg Toast with Quick Tomato Jam.
There are few things in life that excite me like an egg and avocado toast combo.
Well… wait. That might be a lie.
Lots of things excite me. Everything excites me. I’m the person that’s constantly told that I’m too excited, too dramatic, too guilty of loving the heck out of multiple things. Basically, I’m too extra of everything. AND I LOVE IT.
My life is a constant stream of exclamation points. Says the person who has wanted to write in some form since she was seven years old. My old English teachers are crying inside.
But really, any topping on toast excites me. TOAST itself excites me. You know I don’t love bread but I do love toast. Oh wait, bread is toast? Stop. No it isn’t.
Sweet and savory, a thin layer of peanut butter or piled high with textures and ingredients, I don’t discriminate. Delicious things on crunchy toast? I have absolutely no resistance. It’s one thing I could eat every single day, which is huge because as a millennial, I get bored with my food (life?) choices quicker than anyone else on the planet.
I also might make huge sweeping generalizations (“every”thing, “every”one) about my peers who I don’t know, but that’s neither here nor there.
Let’s talk about this jam!
Can I call it jam? I’m calling it jam.
I’m only calling it jam because American spoon makes an amazing heirloom tomato preserves and they didn’t have it yet when we were visiting last week. Apparently it’s being canned as we speak and I just can’t wait any longer. It’s extremely fabulous on breakfast sandwiches and mixed with bacon and eggs. It’s sweet and savory and ugh, just so, so flavorful.
So I decided to make my own! It’s part of the whole impatient millennial thing.
All you need are a bunch of cherry tomatoes, a touch of sugar, some lime juice and garlic. Cook it until the tomatoes burst and then keep cooking until the entire thing breaks down. You can puree it and then it will thicken as it cools.
And then you can spread it on your ENTIRE LIFE.
Wait! Look at this down there. Doesn’t it look like a face? Like one of those decorative owl faces?
I’m not into owls. But now I might be. It was unintentional and I freaked.
I’m not sure if I can convey just HOW delicious this combination is, but if you’re a member of the avocado + egg toast club (and oh I’m quite sure that you are), then you might be able to guess. Texture, taste, satiety – everything is spot on.
And if you’re not a member, we’re always accepting newbies so come on in! The initiation is delicious.
Avocado, Bacon and Egg Toast with Quick Tomato Jam
Ingredients
quick tomato jam
- 1 1/2 cups whole cherry tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the bacon. Cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon is completely crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper-towel lined plate to drain any excess grease.
- Keep the skillet over medium heat and add the eggs to the bacon grease, cooking them over easy or as desired. Once the eggs are finished, season with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice the avocado and sprinkle it with salt and pepper too.
- To make the toast, spread the tomato jam on one side. To with the avocado slices and then the bacon. Throw the egg on top and sprinkle with fresh basil. Devour!
quick tomato jam
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the tomatoes, garlic, sugar, lime juice and vinegar. Stir often, cooking until the tomatoes begin to burst. Continue to cook as the mixture bubbles and the tomatoes break down, using a wooden spoon to break them apart if needed, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Blend until pureed. Pour into a jar and let sit at room temperature until the mixture cools completely. It will thicken more as it cools. Once cool, store in a sealed container in the fridge.

I would never call you too much of anything: I love reading positive stories like yours. I just had some oatmeal (which means I’m extremely full) but now I feel like making some toast! And tomato jam sounds like something I’d LOVE ;)

Gah this looks incredible! I wish I had it in front of me right now! Love new ways to make my already delicious avocado toast even more delicious!
thanks mary!
Hi. Fellow toast fanatic here. I think it’s the crunch + variety. It’s my favorite snack, and since I don’t have a toaster at work, I have started keeping plain rice cakes in my desk drawer, and making “toast” with avocado and olive oil, pb, brie and jam, hummus and tomato, etc. I can’t just have a piece of fruit or a protein bar and call it a satisfying snack! Not quite as perfect as freshly toasted bread, but gets the job done. Plus, they brown rice cakes from TJ are only 60 cals each, so more room for toppings ;-)
i absolutely LOVE rice cakes and have since i was a kid!! i feel like they get such a bad wrap as “diet food” but i do the same as you. i think it’s the crunch that just GETS me. love ’em!
wait… tomato jam!? I’m so proud of ya Jess, you used to hate red sauce!! this sounds like a major movement to me ;)
I KNOW RIGHT!
I agree, toast is so exciting!! I’ll have to try this without the avocado! I’m sure it’ll still taste incredible!

thanks kiersten!
Eggs and avocado on toast is my go-to forever and always. It’s embarrassing how often I consume that combo. BUT THIS TOMATO JAM SITUATION HAS ME FREAKING THE HECK OUT. Cue all the exclamation points. (!!!!!)
it is absolutely embarrassing how much i consume it as well.
if being a lazy millennial means making tomato jam (even if it’s a quick tomato jam), then i guess everyone else is doing it wrong! (; bc none of my friends/peers/millennials i know would dream of doing that (even if it’d be really cool if they did).
hehehehe.
I love tomato jam on toast with eggs. Tomato jam handles experimentation well too, so I add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, cumin…whatever I am in the mood for when I make it. I’ve always hated ketchup, but tomato jam is everything.
I’ve never made a quick version, but since I’m overwhelmed with cherry tomatoes, this might be just the thing. Gorgeous photos as always!
whoa the addition of those spices sound incredible!
That yolk! I’ve never made tomato jam and now I’m literally salivating. Need that in my life STAT.
thanks ellie!

That droppy egg!!! There’s no way anybody can get bored with toast, so many different toppings and combos the possibilities are endless. Guilty here, too of consuming and embarrassing amount of eggs n avocado toast, but a proud member of that club. It never gets old, so good and satisfying.
truth.
Hmmmmm I think I’m an avocado toast purist… (Please don’t hate me) Just avocado on really good toast with a lot of lemon… Salt and pepper…
i forgive you ;)
Hey girl this looks really good! Very creative!
thanks shawnna!
I just realized I have all the ingredients to make that jam in my fridge right now and I am so excited about. Any idea how long it will last in the fridge? I’m about to go away for a few days, and wondering if it will still be good when I get back!
i think it will last probably up until a week! after that, i’d be wary.
Thanks for the response! This was SO good! I made the most amazing breakfast sandwich with this jam, avocado, and a hard boiled egg. It’s going to be a regular in my fridge :) think I might try throwing some chili next time for a little kick.
Looks fabulous – I want to eat it now. Questions please? How long will the tomato jam safely store in a refrigerator? Any chance it can be water bathed and stored for a longer period? THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think it will last safely for about a week. i’m sure that it can be canned properly!! i just haven’t done it yet. :)
I am drooling on my keyboard right now!! Soooooo good!!! I LOVE avocado!
And I love your excitement and enthusiasm!!! It makes me smile!! That is part of the reason I adore your blog!!!
Keep up the GREAT work!!! :D :D :D :D :D
thank you so much M!

A few years ago , you inspired me to try Tomato jam with whipped feta on toast. I may have combined two ideas from two blogs, but I give you full credit. It was quite literally the stuff dreams are made of. Thank you for reminding me…now where did I put those recipes?!

I have eaten this three times in the last week. It’s amazing!
Have to say while making the tomato jam I was serious questioning the apple cider vinegar. It smelt very very vinegary, but the flavours were spot on after giving it time to cool and set. Awesome recipe. Thank you very much, and thank you buzzfeed for send me here.
