Avocado Baked Eggs – Easy Breezy Breakfast
I just realized that lately I have been preparing and posting breakfast dishes.
It must be the summer heat making me hungry in the morning, rather than at dinner time…which is a good thing.
Also all your kids are home for summer vacation, so rightfully so that they get a variety of nutritious breakfasts. Don’t you agree?
Or better yet, your teenagers might whip up some goodies for your breakfast….since you still don’t get to sleep-in…:-)
This recipe is very simple, yet full of good stuff for your morning meal, and you can even grab it with you to eat it later at work. Can’t beat that!
This recipe yields 2 eggs.
Avocado baked Eggs – Easy Breezy Breakfast
Ingredients
- 1 ripe Haas avocado, cut in half and pit removed
- 2 small or medium eggs (large eggs will spill over)
- 1 strip bacon, fried and crumbled (ham, turkey, or cooked sausage may also be used)
- Pinch of Kosher salt and Black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. Hot sauce (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. Cheddar cheese, optional
Instructions
- Using a spoon, scoop out a little more if the avocado, so the cavity is the size of the egg you will use.
- Lightly sprinkle the avocado cavity with Black pepper, and hot sauce.
- Line a baking dish with aluminium foil, scrunched up to support the avocado so it does not tip over.
- Break an egg into the avocado cavity.
- Top it with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese (I skipped it this time)
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top of cheese (I used ham...no bacon on hand).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (I used my toaster oven...it worked great, using less energy and creating less heat in the house)
- Bake 15 minutes, or until the egg white is fully set.
Notes
You may add a side of fresh fruit, to nicely finish off this meal, and to cleanse you palate.
