Ingredients
  

For the Baked Avocado

  • 2 ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices of bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for garnish

Optional Add-Ins

  • A sprinkle of shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan
  • Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
  • A drizzle of hot sauce or sriracha

Substitutions

  • Vegan: Use tofu scramble or a plant-based egg alternative and tempeh bacon.
  • Dairy-Free: This recipe is naturally dairy-free unless you add cheese.

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a small baking dish with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Prepare the Avocados

  • Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit.
  • If the hole from the pit is small, use a spoon to gently scoop out a little more of the flesh to make room for the egg.

Add the Eggs

  • Place the avocado halves in the prepared baking dish.
  • Crack an egg into each avocado half, being careful not to overflow the avocado.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Bake the Avocados

  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (or fully cooked if you prefer).
  • If using cheese, sprinkle it on top in the last 5 minutes of baking.

Add the Bacon

  • Once the avocados are done baking, remove them from the oven and top each avocado half with crumbled bacon.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and any optional toppings like red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

Serve

  • Serve your Baked Avocado with Egg and Bacon immediately while warm.
  • Enjoy!
