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
- Halve your avocado and use a spoon to scoop about half of the inside out to make room for the egg.
- 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.)
- 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
