Avocado Egg Recipe
Description
Avocado Egg Recipe features halved avocados filled with raw eggs, sprinkled with cheese, and topped with cooked, crumbled bacon. Baking in a muffin pan at 425°F stabilizes the avocado while the eggs cook within the cavity left by scooping out some avocado flesh. The cheese melts over the eggs, with a pinch of salt enhancing flavor and bacon providing a smoky, salty finish. This method creates a rich and creamy texture balanced by the baked egg's slight firmness.
The combined textures of smooth avocado, baked egg whites, and slightly runny yolks create a satisfying bite, while the melted cheese and bacon add saltiness and a little crispness. As the eggs bake in the avocado, they take on the fruit’s subtle flavor, making this a filling and convenient baked dish.
This recipe can serve as a light breakfast, brunch, or snack. It pairs well with simple sides or fresh greens, or eaten alone for a quick nutritious meal. Serving the dish warm lets the cheese stay melted and the bacon crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 egg
- 1 piece Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 tbsp cheese low-fat
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Begin by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit.
- With a spoon, scoop out some of the avocado so it's a tad bigger than your egg and yolk. Place in a muffin pan to keep the avocado stable while cooking.
- Crack your egg and add it to the inside of your avocado. Sprinkle a little cheese on top with a pinch of salt. Top with cooked bacon.
- Cook for 14-16 minutes. Serve warm.
