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 or aluminum foil.
- Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they are partially crisp but still flexible, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out a small amount of avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for the egg.
- Place the avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are stable and level.
- Carefully crack an egg into each avocado half, keeping the yolk intact. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Wrap each avocado half with a slice of partially cooked bacon, securing it around the edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Choose ripe, firm avocados that can stand upright on your baking sheet to prevent tipping.
- Partially cook bacon beforehand ensures it becomes perfectly crispy without overcooking the eggs.
- Use a small spoon to create egg cavities in avocados to prevent overflow during baking.
- For precise egg cooking, check doneness around the 12-minute mark - egg whites should be set but yolks still slightly runny.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld and make serving easier.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
