I actually laughed at this comment, because it's so awesomely snarky. It's perfect, because why do I need an entire video and recipe explaining how to make avocado toast? Avocado + toast kind of sums it up. Which basically proves the point of the video: It's pretty! It's about pretty avocados while Kenny Dorham plays in the background. It's about small, easy pleasures, that you can whip up with minimal effort for maximum deliciousness. So to that end...
BOOM! Toast. I just took that snark and turned it into snarkle-ade. Delicious, sweet and sour snarkle-ade.
Obviously the comment wasn't meant to be mean-spirited, but I just couldn't pass up the chance to make a video dedicated to toast. And what delicious toast it is! Inspired by the bread seared on the same griddle as pancakes and bacon at Downtown LA institution The Pantry, it's everything toast is supposed to be: crunchy, buttery, and just slightly savory. Can toast be a "best thing ever"? Obviously it can, when it's made in the greasy spoon diner fashion. Bacon fat, butter, and a golden sear make this toast the most delicious thing on the breakfast table.
1 sourdough loaf, sliced 1 inch thick
butter, softened
bacon
Cut the slices in half and butter them. Meanwhile, cook up some pieces of bacon over medium heat (save them to make the best fried egg sandwich ever) and drain off the fat. Place the bread on the griddle (or pan if you don't have a griddle) and press down to sear. Flip when golden brown (this usually takes a minute or two) and sear on this side as well. Serve with butter if you really want to go to town.

Let me get this straight. You buttered the bread, then you added bacon fat? Good thing you threw the bacon away cuz that would make it a little too rich :)
Haha, I know, it is such an over the top dish. It's meant to be eaten with eggs and bacon for breakfast, but if you just want some delicious toast, you can reserve the bacon for another use. If you try it make sure to discard the bacon fat, you don't want deep fried bread (though that does sound kind of good...).
looks yummy...i have heard of bacon fat croutons, but never flat out toast. I bet it would also be a good crostini base with the right ingredients :)
Try some bacon grease on popcorn instead of butter! :)
