Avocado + Egg = Amazing!
Have I mentioned before how much I LOVE breakfast foods? They’re my FAVORITE!!
Unfortunately, I feel like we don’t have as much time in the morning to enjoy all the delicious breakfast recipes, but thankfully we have them for dinner quite often.
We do have some quick go-to’s we make for breakfast – one of them being today’s Avocado Eggs.
With avocado, bacon, egg and cheese you really can’t go wrong. The combination of flavors makes for a simple but filling breakfast that I think you will enjoy too.
How to Pick Avocados?
TIPS FOR AVOCADOS: Use the following info to help you choose your avocado. Aside from the overripe avocados I will usually buy 2-3 of each kind so that I have perfectly ripe avocados all week long. Avocados ripen off of the tree. To test an avocado hold it in the palm of your hand and gently press with your fingers.
- If the avocado has a lot of give and feels mushy then it is too ripe and leave it at the market.
- If the avocado has some give and feels soft then it perfect to use within 2-3 days before it become overripe.
- An avocado that has some give but still feels firm is labeled as “breaking” and is almost ripe. Let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 more days for it to becomes perfectly ripe.
- An avocado that feels completely firm will need 4-5 more days at room temperature to fully ripen.
- To slow down the ripening process store avocados in the fridge. A perfectly ripe avocado can last 2-3 days at room temperature or 3-5 days in the fridge.
Baked avocado egg Variations + Tips
There are so many ways to change up baked avocado eggs and add a bit more flavor. Here are some suggestions:
- Mexican – Use Mexican cheese, add chopped peppers or green chilis
- Greek – Use feta cheese and sausage instead of bacon. You can also add chopped spinach!
- 3 meat – Use mozzarella and add bacon, ham and sausage to the eggs
Can I freeze bacon and egg avocados? Though raw avocados can be frozen successfully, these baked avocados are best eaten right away. They can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheated, but I do not recommend freezing them.
Mmmm! I admit that I sometimes eat an avocado for breakfast or even for lunch, but eating it with the cooked egg, cheese and bacon in the middle is even better!

Avocado Egg Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 eggs
- 1 piece bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 tbsp low-fat cheese
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Begin by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit.
- With a spoon, scoop out some of the avocado so it's a tad bigger than your egg and yolk. Place in a muffin pan to keep the avocado stable while cooking.
- Crack your egg and add it to the inside of your avocado. Sprinkle a little cheese on top with a pinch of salt. Top with cooked bacon.
- Cook for 14-16 minutes. Serve warm.

i think you were going for “a tad bigger” when suggesting one dig out some of the avocado!
LOL! Yes, I was. Thanks for the heads up. 😉
seems like a really long time in the oven, what is the doneness of the egg, I rather like mine to the over easy consistency, also, what does it do to the avocado, and is it better if they are slightly under ripe?
I made these just now, and at 14 minutes my eggs were underdone; the whites were still clear. An additional 10 minutes though has them totally cooked, solid yolks and all, so somewhere in the middle might be the sweet spot if you like runny eggs.
Thanks for the comment. I know every oven is different so it’s always good to keep an eye out and adjust the time depending on what you like. Hope you liked them!! 😀
I had the same results. I tried it for 16 minutes the second time,but the eggs were still very runny. I guess I’ll increase the time for my oven
good idea take a good food and make it unhealthy by adding eggs cheese and bacon fat fat and oh yeah more fat!
What’s the good food? Avocado? Also has lots of fat. Fat isn’t a bad thing. Eggs aren’t unhealthy. Neither is cheese unless you can’t have dairy…
This is actually a very healthy breakfast for most people!
It’s a very very good low carb and great tasting breakfast!! Avocado has fat, too.. but good fat (there is good & bad fat, Denise, didn’t you know??) Eggs are very healthy! full of protein. So is cheese. Obviously Denise you do not know your nutrition… study up!
Then don’t make the recipe. Some of us may enjoy things that you do not approve of. I am sure the reverse is also true.
Lol most of this is still pretty healthy, asides from the bacon. And it’s one measly piece you use. I think this recipe is an awesome idea! Maybe you should take your negativity elsewhere and get a life 🙂
Ever looked into the Ketogenic diet??
It is not unhealthy if you are following a ketogenic diet. Do your research.
It’s actually perfect for those on the Keto Diet.
This would be considered a meal, especially if you had a vegetable and/or fruit on the side. The avocado would be the lipid, cheese would be dairy, egg would be protein, and the bacon could be used as protein or lipid. Instead of bacon, I’m going to use turkey, which would be more protein. All of these macro nutrients are needed to make a meal. 🙂
The whole point of a keto diet is to sub carbs out of your diet for fats…when I keto roughly 70% of my diet is all fats while I eat a max of 30 net carbs a day (not including fibre). For someone that’s doing a keto diet this is a breakfast of the gods????????♀️????????
DEnise, You Obviously do not know your nutritions. Avocadoes contain fat as well as bacon but it is the good fat. Bacon may not be healthy, but this recipe is good for a low-carb diet. Because the eggs, cheese and bacon does not have any carbs i them while the avocado provides you with the fats you need.
I really recomend to read your stuff before commenting to avoid any confusion.
I subbed poached egg low sodium bacon or Ham steak diced Helpful to poach a egg No Calories or Fat. (Fill a small saucepan 3/4 full with water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer where there are small bubbles along the edge, but the water isn’t boiling. Crack one egg into a small bowl and gently lower it into the water. Do the same with the remaining egg. Poach the eggs for 3 1/2 minutes.) Low Fat Cheese. Hope this helps. Always have to watch my calories and fat. 🙂
How soft is the yoke when these are done? I prefer a runny yoke over one that’s cooked all the way through. I’m wondering if I should reduce the cook time?
this will be the best breakfast !
but im sorry im really not good at oven. cook for 14-16mins means bake? or broiled? im sorry i always get confuse.
Hey, Jenny! At the beginning of the recipe it says to preheat oven to 425 degrees. That mean on bake…if you were meant to broil something, the recipe would say preheat broiler or give you ingredients and then say broil for such and such a time. Hope that helps!! 🙂
Thank you so much Valerie! Yes, you bake it:) I’d love to know if you try this and what you think! They are delicious!
