If you love breakfast foods, this dish tastes just as delicious as it looks and you won’t even have to dirty a bunch of pots and pans. You can cook your bacon in the microwave if you want instead of frying it or baking it.
It’s important to use large avocados and medium eggs so that the egg whites don’t run over. You can try breaking the egg into a small bowl first to eliminate spills.
Another neat trick is to bake them in a muffin pan and place the avocados atop the holes so they don’t tip over when putting them in the oven.
LOADED AVOCADO BAKED EGGS
Notes
Net Carbs: 2g
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 4 medium eggs
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ c. Cheddar Jack Cheese, shredded
- 3 strips sugar-free bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
- Optional garnish: chives or green onions (green parts only), sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to carefully remove some of the avocado flesh around the pit to create more space for the egg. Reserve removed flesh for another use (or smash, season with salt and pepper to taste, and top each baked avocado half with a spoonful before serving).
- Crack one egg into a small bowl and then carefully transfer the egg into one of the prepared avocado halves. Place the filled avocado onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat this process with the remaining avocado halves and eggs. Season each with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Place filled avocado halves in pre-heated oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked according to your preference.
- Remove from oven and top each avocado half with shredded Cheddar Jack cheese and crispy bacon pieces. Garnish with chives or sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
