    Avocado Baked Eggs are an incredibly delicious, hearty, and easy breakfast to make a healthy, nutritious tasty start to your day!

    I don't know about you all, but I am a long-time sufferer of OBS, also known as Overactive Brain Syndrome.  Which only seems to kick in when I want to go to sleep. While my brain will run through the gamut, inevitably, it will always end with, "What should I make for breakfast...?" And this particular night, my brain went to eggs. Eggs and avocados. Enter, Avocado Baked Eggs!

    We love this healthy, hearty, super delicious breakfast because it takes everything we love. Avocados. Eggs. BACON. And fresh basil and tomatoes. All with simple prep and an easy bake, making these avocado eggs the perfect breakfast!

    Ingredients Needed

    halved avocado, eggs, tomato, basil on counter.

    One of the things I love about this recipe is how customizable this is. The basis, eggs baked in avocados. From there, you can do whatever you want! Here's what we love, but you do you and whatever's in your fridge!

    • Eggs - White, brown, whatever!
    • Avocados - Ripe, halved and pit removed.

    Additions: Tomatoes, basil, bacon, salt, pepper, or anything else you have!

    Picking Avocaods

    Oh avocados... they're basically not ready, not ready, not ready and then BAM! Ready!!

    The Perfect Avocado

    • Feels kind of soft, but not mushy.

    Overripe Avocado

    • These will feel "mushy" to the touch and may have a darker yellow or brownish color.

    Underride Avocado

    • These will still be pretty firm. But if you're buying in advance, then you can just put them in a brown paper bag (for 4-5 days) until they're soft and perfect!

    Step-by-Step

    a halved avocado with some scooped out with a spoon.

    Step 1: Scoop a little extra out of your nice, ripe avocados. This will make a little extra room for your egg.

    a halved avocado with a bit of the bottom cut off.

    Step 2: Prep those avocados for baking by slicing aa little bit off of the bottom half of your avocado so that it sits nicely on your pan.

    an egg with a spoon in a bowl and a yolk in a avocado.

    Step 3: Crack your eggs into a bowl and then use a spoon to scoop out the yolk and some white to place into the halved avocado.

    two avocado halves with baked eggs.

    Step 4: Baked until the whites are cooked but the eggs are still runny!

    a plate with halved avocado eggs topped with baked eggs and bacon and tomatoes.

    Step 5: Top with whatever you want! Crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, basil... whatever you have!

    It's almost like my brain was rewarding me for forcing me awake at 5 am on my day off!

    Ingredients

    • 1 lg Avocado
    • 2 lg eggs
    • 2 slices bacon chopped
    • 1 tablespoon Tomato diced
    • 2 lg leaves basil diced
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
    • In a saute pan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy and then chop.
    • Remove bacon from pan and let cool on a paper towel.
    • Halve the avocado and remove pit.
    • With a small spoon, gently scoop out a little more of the avocado meat to create a large hole for your egg.
    • With a sharp knife, cut a small flat piece off the bottom of each avocado half. This will help your avocado to sit flat.
    • Place avocado halves on baking sheet or in a small baking dish.
    • Crack egg one at a time into a small bowl. With a spoon gently lift the yolk, being careful to not break it, and place it into the hole of one avocado half. If there is extra room, add some of the additional egg white. Repeat with second half.
    • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until egg yolk is white and cooked but yolk still runny. This time may adjust based on your eggs / avocados.
    • Remove from oven and sprinkle with bacon, tomato, and basil.
    • Enjoy!

      I have that problem too sometimes, and then it seems the times I don't is when my toddler decides to wake me instead! These look great, though, and very impressed with how well your brain thought through making them when tired and awake so early! Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday!
