One of my favorites that I change to suit my mood. Lately I've been leaving off the egg and substituting chopped green onion and a drizzle of good olive oil. Also swap the rye for dark pump depending on what's in the house.
I used sourdough English muffins that I had on hand. I mashed the avocado and blended it with a little lemon juice, dijon mustard, and garlic salt. Garnished with chopped scallions.
I've been fixing a version of this for many years, being a former Californian I was raised eating Avocados since I was a child but I had never fixed this with Pancetta and it's something I always have in the freezer. I fix this the day after I bake bread because it's so good on home baked bread. I use thin sliced ham because I find the prosciutto hard to cut through when everything else is soft. The flavor of this simple dish is outstanding. I also fix this sometimes with a soft fried egg, saves a pan!
What a nice change from the usual eggs and bacon. Absolutely delicious and so easy to prepare. I used lightly toasted sourdough and I served it with fresh fruit. A champagne worthy breakfast/brunch.
