I’ve been making eggs in avocados for about two years. Lately, I’ve been seeing a plethora of food bloggers sharing their recipes lately along with their leaky exploits of egg whites in the process. My way, I believe, is the easiest way to execute a perfectly baked egg in an avocado that has easy clean-up making this a perfect weekday breakfast idea for your repertoire.
Recipe is simple. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Halve each avocado giving each person one or two halves. Remove the pit. Scoop out a bit of the avocado from the inside, to make room for all of the egg, and reserve it. Take some tinfoil and make a bowl for the avocado. See picture below. Crack the egg into each carved out space in the avocado. Top with some cayenne pepper (if you like it), salt and pepper. Place the avocado on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. You can determine how cooked or undercooked you like your yolks.
While the eggs are baking, I place the extra removed avocado in a bowl with one small tomato, 1/2 of a jalapeño chopped and some cilantro. I cut that up using two sharp knives. I make some whole grain toast and use it to top my bread and egg/avocado mixture. Super protein-packed breakfast. Wonderful post run recovery :)
What a fun idea! I love avocado and eggs, so why not add the two together!
I know, right?! It is so good and make some side guac to go along with it. Just heavenly!
This looks like such a great combination…eggs and avocado…never tried this. Thanks for the idea.
It is the best combination for breakfast. So delicious even my kids love it!
Can you cook it in the microwave?
I wouldn’t to be honest. I think baking is better. You can also bake it in a toaster oven instead of turning on the oven
Wow, love this idea, often have avocado on toast for brekky, with an egg on top. Not any more, can’t wait to try this.
Patricia, Perfect recipe for you and the best way to start the day
