Peel and slice the avocado in half lengthways, removing the stone. Slice the avocado into 8 even strips. Cut each strip of bacon in half, so you have 8 slices of bacon.
Step 3
Tightly wrap each piece of avocado with a piece of bacon. Once you have covered each slice, set aside on a shallow oven tray.
Step 4
Bring a small pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a bubbling simmer.
Step 5
While the water is coming to a boil, transfer the bacon-wrapped avocado to the oven to cook for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is completely cooked through and browned.
Step 6
Once the water is simmering, lower the eggs into the pot and set a timer for 5 minutes – longer if you want a firmer egg yolk. Drain the eggs and transfer them to egg cups to be served with the avocado bacon soldiers.
