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 tbsp low-fat cheese
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Begin by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit.

- Cook for 14-16 minutes. Serve warm.

What is the recommended shelf life? If I prepped this at night time would they last the next day for breakfast? Also wondering about reheating? This looks simply delicious and I can’t wait to try it!
Not sure I would make and eat later. Avocados get brown so quickly, unless you knew a way to keep them fresh. It really is good, but I would probably make & eat them freshly made.
HAven’t tried the recipe yet, but it sounds delicious! I grew up on Avos. Tip: When saving an opened Avocado, or making guacamole, lemon or lime juice can help preserve it a bit. Oxygen (air) is what makes it brown, so if you do save for later, coat with lemon/lime juice and seal tightly with plastic wrap (press the wrap right onto the Avo/Guac. Have been able to keep Guacamole fresh that way for up to two days (in the Fridge, of course).
Thanks so much for the great tip! I will have to try!
Great recipe, love the flavors together! I’m just starting to eat more avocados so I was quite happy to come across this recipe. I made it tonight and found I will need to cook it a little longer next time for the eggs to set (as a few others mentioned). Quick question: is it okay to eat the skin?
I don’t eat the skin. Does anyone else? I just scoop the goodness out of it 🙂 This is a great recipe for those starting to eat avocados more! Thank you!
We’re enjoying this right now! Definitely needed 10 more minutes in the oven…after the first 15, the top was firm but the insides were very runny. So I just laid some aluminum foil loosely over the top and put it back in for 10. Also beat the eggs in a bowl first, then added them to the avocado. Super yummy and fun!
So glad you liked it!! Thanks so much for giving it a try 🙂
This recipe was an unmitigated disaster. To hollow out an avocado enough to accept an egg left me with nothing but the avocado skin. Avocado’s do not sit in cupcake pans without tipping. While I will admit the flavors are very good together, the effort required to make this was more than I care to deal with this morning. I will not be attempting this again.
So sorry that it was a mess. I didn’t scoop out all the avocado, just enough for the egg to fit, so there was still plenty of avocado in it. Thanks for giving it a try!
Just found this on Pinterest!! So yummy!! I did switch the salt for cayenne pepper as I love spicy food!! Lol
That’s a great way to add spice!! Thanks so much!!
This is so good! I just made it for the 3rd time. Newer low carb higher protein lifestyle and this is perfect.
Yay!! SO glad and yes, a healthier breakfast! Thanks for letting me know!
Me and the wife trying to lose weight with Paleo and Advocare, and a breakfast like this doesn’t feel like any kinda diet but it is..Thanx sooooo much for a GREAT recipe…Tossed a little hot sauce on the egg before putting in and came out fantastic.skipped the cheese but still awesome..Definitely a keeper !
You are welcome!! I hope you both loose what you want 🙂 Glad you found the recipe and I like what you did to change it up!! Good luck!
Do you think this would work with scrambled eggs?
I haven’t tried this with scrambled eggs. It doesn’t hurt to try:) I’d love to know if they turn out, if you make them. Thanks so much!!
These look delicious! I love avocadoes. I might have them for lunch tomorrow 🙂
I love avocados, too!! You’ll love this:) Thanks for checking them out!!
