In a non stick pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside. Fry the eggs to your preference in the same pan, using some of the rendered bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the cucumber slices on a large serving plate to create a base layer. Top the cucumber with cherry tomatoes and avocado pieces. Spread a generous amount of hummus on top of the vegetables, creating an even layer. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the hummus. Arrange cooked bacon slices and fried eggs on top of the dish, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Sprinkle walnuts and za'atar spice mix over the bacon and eggs. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of zesty flavor (optional).
