Ingredients Method Notes

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.

Method
 

Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Avocados
  1. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit.
  2. 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
  1. Place the avocado halves in the prepared baking dish.
  2. Crack an egg into each avocado half, being careful not to overflow the avocado.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake the Avocados
  1. 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).
  2. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top in the last 5 minutes of baking.
Add the Bacon
  1. Once the avocados are done baking, remove them from the oven and top each avocado half with crumbled bacon.
  2. Garnish with fresh herbs and any optional toppings like red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Serve
  1. Serve your Baked Avocado with Egg and Bacon immediately while warm.
  2. Enjoy!
