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!

YUMMY!!!? for me its a trial an error.. Avocado was smaller than yours and I was impatient in waiting for oven to preheat, my yolks were hard; but still a great new brkfst idea. Def will be making again. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to share! Yes, it is always trial & error when cooking/baking. Thank you for giving it a try!
Was truly DELICIOUS… but a couple of hints :
1. Crack eggs and SEPARATE… put egg yolk in middle and add sOme egg white ( unless you have very large avocados ) use rest of whites for SCRAMBLED egg Whites with onion, salt and pePper ,cheese.
2. I crumbled a little foil and put iT in the bittom of muffin tin So while there cooking the avocados don’t bottom out into bottom of muffin cup.
3. If preparing for company shred cheese night before as well as cooking bacon.
These are really delicious and company worthy! ???
Glad you thought so! Thank you for sharing that!
Great sharing
Thank you so much!
no carbs listed? carbs from avocado? about 8-9 per 1/2.
Can’t wait to try this !!
Hope you like them!!
So this was kinda a fail for me – lets just say you cannot use haas avOcados
I used a large avacado and MEDium eggs. I didn’t scoop any avacado and just a little egg white ran over the cup. They’re in the oven right now. I’ll give a report after I’ve eaten them.
Sounds good! Yes, let me know what you think 🙂
this looks absolutely delicious
Thank you so much!!
Good tasting breakfast recipe thats definiteky more healthy than most but your calorie count is way off. One large egg has 70 calories alone, an avocado is over 200. If your serving size is as it states in the recipe (2) then you’re Way over 125kcal
14-16 minutes at 425 was not enough. I put them in for another 5. Turned out great!
Perfect! Thank you for sharing!
I’m definitely trying this tomorrow… using turkey bacon instead. Crossing my fingers.
Perfect! Hope you liked them! Thank you!
