Bacon & Eggs Baked Avocado
Description
This recipe begins by halving ripe avocados and removing the pits, preserving the hole where the egg will be placed. Large eggs are cracked directly into the avocado halves, and diced pancetta is sprinkled on top. Baking the filled avocados at 425°F for about 15 minutes cooks the eggs to a runny or firm texture depending on roasting time. The high oven heat crisps the pancetta pieces while keeping the avocado tender and creamy.
The dish blends the buttery texture and subtle flavor of avocado with the salty, crunchy pancetta and the soft, warm eggs, creating a harmonious combination. It serves well as a satisfying single-serving dish for breakfast or brunch, and the portioning allows easy customization for different appetites.
Using pancetta is preferred, but other cooked deli meats like ham can be substituted for varying flavor. The recipe allows for adjusting egg cook time to personal preference, ensuring ideally cooked eggs within the creamy avocado.
Ingredients
- 2 avocado
- 2-4 tablespoons pancetta diced
- 4 egg large
- salt to taste

Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 425 F.

Notes
