Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and wash the baby spinach. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnishing.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it wilts. Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, fry the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or oven until golden brown. Set them aside.
Clean out the skillet and return it to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook gently, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula, to create soft and creamy scrambled eggs. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.
To assemble the brunch, place a slice of toasted bread on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the sautéed vegetables, followed by a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice or two of crispy bacon, and a few slices of avocado.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your epic egg brunch!
