Mushroom & Bacon Salsa stuffed Avocado – Breakfast is served

If food is your love language, we’ve got a great recipe for Mother’s Day. If you’re looking for something to spoil mom with for breakfast in bed, these Mushroom & Bacon Salsa stuffed Avocado will do the trick. Make them for your mom, or you can help dad with the prep. It’s quick, easy and delicious.

Bacon and avocado go well together due to the salty bacon lifting the flavour of the avo. You’ll be happy to know that mushrooms are an umami flavour bomb to this great bowl too. For the best results, mash the avo up in the halved shell or you can remove it, and mix it in a bowl with the cooked ingredients and spoon it back in. All of your preparation time is less than 20 minutes, making it a great breakfast on Sunday morning. If mom likes spicy food, add a few slices of fresh chillies or chilli flakes for that extra kick.

Mother’s Day is here and what better to start the day with than breakfast in bed in the form of Mushroom & Bacon Salsa stuffed Avocado.
