1. Preheat the oven at 200c. Cook the bacon for 3-4 minutes each side or until crispy. When you turn over the bacon add the hot cross buns as it will soak up the leftover juices and go crispy.
2. In a bowl, add the avocado, lime juice, seasoning (extra black pepper) and half of the chopped chillies and smash with a fork until your desired consistency.
3. Finally, stack the smashed avocado and crispy bacon to the toasted hot cross bun and top with feta cheese, chopped mint and black pepper. Serve warm and enjoy!
BIFF, BOSH, BRUNCH NOSH!
