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.

Did not come out as good as it looked. Something about heated avocado just does not meet my tastebuds.
I have been cooking a long time and followed instructions to the letter. I would do it again, but not baking the avocado.
Maybe it’s not for everyone, but thank you so much for trying it!! 🙂
OMG! I’ve died and gone to heaven! These were so easy and tasted delicious! My new favourite breakfast
Yay!!! I’m so glad you think so! Thank you so much for letting me know and thank you for making them!
I was just wondering if anyone knows how long this would keep in the fridge? I try to meal prep for the week and this looks perfect for my husband and I.
I am guessing not long. Avocado browns so fast & with that egg on there..not sure it would last long.
Had to make a couple modifications but it was still delicious!
My camper oven is too unreliable and the convection microwave not much better. I ended up using my NuWave (to the rescue). Started in the conv/micro set at 400* (highest it will go) and after 10 minutes yolk and white were still raw.
Moved to new NuWave, full power, 5 minutes… perfect!
Next modification was to switch to non-dairy cheese (Daiya Monterey Jack shreds) and added a dusting of Herbs De Provence.
This recipe is now in my faves list! Thank u so much for the fab recipe!!!
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing what you did 🙂
I’m definitely trying this tomorrow… using turkey bacon instead. Crossing my fingers.
Good luck and hope you like it!! Let me know what you think! Thanks 🙂
Are you supposed to eat both halves or is one half a serving?
I eat both halves 🙂
The organic avocados I had on hand were on the smallish side: a large egg filled the avocado shell, avocado all removed!
I had to improvise, putting the avocado into a buttered ramekin until it was half full, then putting the egg on top. It baked up nicely in a 1″ deep water bath in under 20 minutes.
Not quite the cute presentation seen in Luna’s pics, but I did keep all the avocado! Now to wash the ramekins….
You are awesome for improvising!! I’m glad they worked out!! Thank you!
Looks pretty tasty!
It is!! 🙂 Hope you’ll try them! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Just made this, turned out Delicious!!! Only problem I ran into was pouring the egg into the avocado got a bit messy. Couldn’t fit all of the egg white into avocado even after scooping some of the avocado out, ended up overflowing the egg into the muffin tray with the first half. the second half I instead just put in the egg yolk first, then poured as much egg white as I could fit without overflowing. Worked much better that time! And it was really easy, which considering my idea of cooking generally consists of making a sandwich, is really saying something. Went especially well with a glass of orange juice. Highly recommend this recipe!
You’re too funny!! I’m glad you found a way to make it work. Thank you for letting me know 🙂
My egg won’t cook. I’ve had them in the oven for over 1/2 hr and the whites are still runny. I will attempt again sometime but might lightly beat the egg first.
Oh, I’m sorry!! You may have to adjust times, since all ovens are different. Hopefully, it will turn out next time 🙂 Thank you so much!!
