Baked Avocado Egg
Description
The Baked Avocado Egg recipe centers on halved avocados with a hollow scooped out to accommodate a whole egg. Parmesan cheese and parsley add layers of flavor and slight texture contrast on top. Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit cooks the egg to your preferred doneness while warming and softening the avocado flesh. The gentle heat melds the flavors without overcooking the avocado. A sprinkle of salt and pepper seasons the dish simply but effectively.
By baking the eggs inside the avocado, the result is a creamy, tender blend of the two elements with a slightly firm egg white and runny or set yolk depending on timing. Parsley and Parmesan add herbal and umami notes that highlight the natural buttery richness of the avocado. When ready, serve topped with chopped fresh tomato to add a bright and juicy contrast that cuts through the richness.
This dish works well for breakfast or brunch, providing satisfying protein and healthy fats in an elegant, minimal-ingredient preparation. Using larger avocados makes it easier to fit an egg in each half without removing excessive avocado flesh or breaking yolks. Careful cracking of eggs and supporting the avocado halves upright ensures the eggs stay in place during baking.
Ingredients
- 1 Large avocado
- 2 egg
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ tablespoon parsley
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut the avocado in half longways and remove the pit.
- If it’s a small pit, use a spoon to remove some of the avocado meat and make room for the egg.
- Place the avocados in two small ramekins to keep them upright. Or you can bake without ramekins.
- Crack the eggs into each avocado half and top with salt, pepper, parsley, and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the eggs is cooked to your liking.
- Top with tomatoes before serving.
Notes
- If the avocado pit is small, remove extra flesh to create space for the egg to fit securely.
- Use ramekins to keep avocado halves upright for baking, preventing egg spillage.
- Crack eggs gently into avocados to avoid breaking yolks before baking.
- Add crushed red chili flakes for those who prefer a spicier version.
- Substitute Parmesan with cheddar or crumbled feta for a different cheese flavor.
- Top with fresh chopped tomatoes to add brightness and freshness before serving.
- Choose larger avocados, which accommodate eggs more easily due to a larger pit cavity.
