Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of bacon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop into small pieces.
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out a little extra avocado to create a slightly larger hole for the egg.
- Place the avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are stable and level.
- Crack one egg into each avocado half, being careful not to break the yolk.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over each egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Remove from oven and top each avocado half with crumbled bacon pieces.
- Garnish with freshly chopped chives.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Avocado Baked Eggs with Bacon.
Tips
- Choose ripe, firm avocados that can hold their shape when baked. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- For perfectly crispy bacon, use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan and cook on medium heat. Pat bacon dry with paper towels before crumbling to ensure maximum crispness.
- To create a stable base for your avocado halves, slice a tiny bit off the bottom of each half so they sit flat on the baking sheet.
- For precise egg placement, crack eggs into a small bowl first, then gently slide them into the avocado hollows to prevent breaking the yolk.
- Watch your baking time carefully. Eggs continue cooking after removal from the oven, so remove them when whites are just set to avoid overcooking.
- For added flavor, experiment with different garnishes like smoked paprika, hot sauce, or everything bagel seasoning.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect temperature and texture of the warm, creamy avocado and runny egg yolk.
