Baked Avocado & Eggs with Bacon and Cheese Recipe

Baked Avocado & Eggs are a simple, 30-minute healthy breakfast recipe you'll want to make again and again!

It's well known that avocados are a nutritional powerhouse. They are packed with heart-healthy fats, potassium, fiber, and other nutrients. Pair them with protein packed eggs and you can see how Baked Avocado & Eggs is a great breakfast recipe to start your day.

Ingredients

• avocado
• egg
• cheese
• bacon

Step by step

1. Halve your avocado and use a spoon to scoop about half of the inside out to make room for the egg.
2. Place the avocado on a baking sheet or balance in a muffin tin. Crack an egg into each half (it is not unusual to have the egg white overflow.)
3. Top with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon and bake 20-30 minutes or until egg is set to your liking.

Tips for best results

• This recipe can be customized with your choice of toppings (suggestions below)
• Use room temperature avocados, not refrigerated.
• Use large eggs, not extra large to avoid overflow, or crack egg into a small bowl and use a spoon to transfer yolk and just enough egg white into the avocado.
• Scoop out about a tablespoon of avocado to allow room for the egg. Scoop wide rather than deep to ensure eggs bake evenly.
• If you are worried about egg overflow, cooking the baked avocado in a muffin tin can keep it upright!
• The top of the egg yolk will cook faster than the interior so it is normal for the egg to look overcooked but still be runny inside

Alternate topping ideas

• feta or goat cheese
• chives
• cilantro
• salsa or pico de gallo
• Canadian bacon
• diced ham
• crumbled sausage
