  • In a heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. About 8-10 minutes.

  • In a small mixing bowl, mash the avocado flesh and add the chopped pimento (drained). Season with a pinch of sea salt to taste. Set aside.
  • On a large cutting board, peel the cooked eggs and cut them in half (On their side).
  • Slice a tiny piece of the bottom of the egg to make a flat surface so the egg half can stand up right.

  • Top with a drizzle of fig balsamic. Serve!
