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.

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 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.

How ripe was your avocado when you cooked it? Can you do this with an under ripe avocado or do you need to wait?
I am sure you could. I can’t remember how ripe or not mine was, but in my opinion, I thought it was pretty ripe.
I made this. I left it in the oven at 425 for 20 min. The egg was still very runny..
The egg is runny, but if you don’t like it like that, you may need to keep them in longer. I know all ovens are different, so times vary. I hope that helps & hope you like it!
Are these good to make a day ahead
I am not sure I would. Once you cut avocado, it browns quickly, but that’s me. I am not sure how well it would hold up in the fridge.
Just tried this! Love love love! Added a little bit of salsa on top!
Perfect!! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Kristyn, I’m new to your site and recipes. Your post of the egg in avocado caught my eye. You write well too which makes it all fun. “Stinkin’ cute kids” and “smokin’ hot hubby”. I’m looking forward to trying your recipes out. My “smokin’ hot wife” and I are 52 and 47 respectfully and brand new empty nesters. New food and exciting food is part of the plan. Best to you and your family.

I like this
Thank you for stopping by!!
I just tried this recipe. I’m a picky eater and didn’t think I’d like it. I LOVED IT!! I can’t wait to make it for my husband. I didnt want to waste what i scooped out so I mashed it with a spoon of homemade blueberry jam and put it on a piece of toast. Yummy. Thank you for posting.
Sounds good with the toast! Thank you so much for sharing!
What is the count for Carbs, Dietary Carbs, Fats, and Proteins in this recipe? Absolutely loved this meal!!!! I added sour cream!
I’m so glad you liked it. I do not have the nutritional info, I’m sorry!
Everyone does know that eggs come in small, medium, large, & xtra large right? And avocados can range from smaller to the bigger side. Sounds like a great recipe so I may try a smaller egg into a medium to big size avocado. Just for those having problems with how to pick out produce and eggs.
You are so right 🙂 Thanks Collette!
Can you pre-make a week’s worth and keep them in the fridge or freeze them?
I have not tried. I’m not sure about the avocado lasting, if it’s in the fridge or how they would hold up in the freezer. I would just try making a couple extra & seeing how they do in both the fridge & freezer. I hope they hold up well!
Little trick I’ve learned to keep avocados from turning brown…give them a quick run under cold water immediately after cutting! It stops the oxidation process caused by the knife and they will stay pretty green for at least 3 days covered with Saran Wrap!
Thanks for sharing the tip! That’s awesome!
