Ultimate Hangover Breakfast - Bloody Mary with Sriracha Bacon and Avocado Toast

I don't know about you, but after a night painting the town red I'll usually wake up with a frightening hunger. I don't deal with hungry very well, I can't diet and I hate being told no when it comes to food. I can go from peckish to hangry in alarming speed so if you throw hungover in the mix it can get a little scary. After many years of dealing with my brattish cravings, I've learned to prepare for my mornings in advance. Bacon is always a good idea but for those mornings, and when you're feeling particularly delicate the only way to go is some avocado and a Bloody Mary!

Now I know avocado toast is a bit of a thing, and there are hundreds of variations floating around the internet, but I thought I'd share my favorite method with you lovely lot. It's heavy on the garlic and chilli, not one for the fainthearted, this is for a pro avocado toaster!
