Baked Eggs in Avocado
Who would have thought? You can bake your eggs right in avocado halves for a healthy breakfast option to start your day off right!
Avocado is a fruit, not a vegetable. And they are packed with heart-healthy good fats.
Eggs, on the other hand, are a budget-friendly, high-quality protein among many different vitamins and minerals.
And when you combine these two elements, this becomes one of my favorite breakfast options.
Not only are they easy to prepare but they are packed full of everything you can possibly need for a healthy sustainable breakfast.
So put down the sugary-cereal, the proessed breakfast burritos – basically all that fake stuff – and start your day right.
You will notice a difference in energy and you won’t be reaching for those sugary snacks mid-morning!
Baked Eggs in Avocado
Ingredients
- 3 avocados, halved and seeded
- 6 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Using a spoon, scoop out about two tablespoons of avocado flesh, or more, as needed, creating a small well in the center of each avocado.
- Gently crack 1 egg, and slide it into the well, keeping the yolk intact. Repeat with remaining eggs; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set but the yolks are still runny, about 15-18 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

I would add a tablespoon or two of salsa under the egg.
Yum! I love this idea. It would go great with some diced tomatoes and raw spinach
This looks delicious and so easy. I will definitely be trying this recipe soon.
I love avocados and think this would make a great evening meal too served with a salad and toast. Thanks for this simple recipe.
Great idea! Do you leave the skin or outside shell of the avocado on when baking them?
Yes, you can leave the skin on.
I’ve subscribed to this for about a year now and this is the first comment I’ve ever made: I love your recipes! I am ALL over these. Can these be made ahead of time?
The avocados may brown a bit if made in advance but as always, please use your best judgment.
