Baked Avocado Eggs are not only visually appealing but also incredibly nutritious, combining the creamy texture of ripe avocados with the protein-packed goodness of eggs.

To create this delightful dish, begin by selecting ripe avocados, ensuring they are soft but not overly mushy. Halve the avocados and carefully remove the pits, creating a small well in each half. Next, crack an egg into each avocado half, letting the yolk nestle comfortably within the green embrace. Season with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you prefer, such as paprika or chives, to enhance the flavor.

Place the prepared avocados on a baking sheet and slide them into a preheated oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness. The end result is a delightful combination of creamy avocado and perfectly cooked eggs, a match made in culinary heaven.

Not only is this recipe easy to make, but it's also highly customizable. Feel free to add toppings like crispy bacon bits, shredded cheese, or diced tomatoes for an extra burst of flavor.

Instructions :

1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
3Using a spoon, carefully scoop out enough flesh from the center of each avocado half to create room for an egg.
4Lightly brush the avocado halves with olive oil to prevent them from browning.
5Place the avocado halves in a baking dish, ensuring they are stable and won't tip over. You can use crumpled aluminum foil to help stabilize them, if needed.
6Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently pour it into one of the avocado halves. Repeat this process for the remaining eggs and avocado halves.
7Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.
8Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
9While the avocados are baking, prepare the topping by mixing the diced cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
10Once the avocados are done baking, remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool slightly.
11Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each baked avocado egg while they are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
12Top each avocado half with the prepared tomato and onion mixture.
13Garnish with thinly sliced green onions for added flavor and color.
14Serve the baked avocado eggs immediately while they are warm.

Notes :

  • Choose avocados that are ripe but still firm to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
  • Use large eggs to fit better in the avocado halves; smaller eggs may be less likely to overflow.
  • To remove an avocado pit, carefully hit the pit with the edge of a knife and twist to remove.
  • When scooping out avocado flesh, save the extra for another use, like guacamole or a salad.
  • Brushing avocado halves with olive oil helps prevent browning and adds flavor.
  • If the avocados are not stable in the baking dish, use crumpled aluminum foil to create a stable base.
  • Crack eggs into a bowl first to avoid breaking the yolk or getting eggshells in the avocado.
  • Baking time may vary based on egg size and desired yolk consistency; adjust accordingly.
  • For firmer egg yolks, bake longer; for runnier yolks, bake less.
  • The tomato and onion topping adds freshness and acidity to balance the richness of the avocado and egg.
  • Adjust seasoning in the topping to personal preference, especially with red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Allow baked avocado eggs to cool slightly before adding shredded cheese to ensure even melting.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, as the dish is best enjoyed warm.
  • Use fresh cilantro and green onions for the best flavor and aroma in the topping and garnish.
  • If desired, add other toppings like bacon bits or hot sauce for additional flavor variations.
  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve the right cooking time and texture.

Tips :

  • Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy for the best texture.
  • To easily remove the pit, gently tap it with a knife and twist. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
  • If the avocados don't sit flat in the baking dish, slice a small piece off the bottom to create a stable base.
  • Scooping out a bit more avocado flesh than you think you need will help fit the eggs without overflow.
  • Use fresh eggs for the best results; older eggs may have runny whites.
  • If you prefer firmer yolks, bake for closer to 20 minutes; for runnier yolks, check around 15 minutes.
  • Keep a close eye on the avocados while baking to prevent overcooking.
  • For a smoother texture, mix a little of the scooped avocado flesh into the tomato topping.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice in the topping to your taste preference.
  • If you like extra spice, increase the red pepper flakes in the topping.
  • For a different flavor, try substituting cheddar with Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese.
  • Serve with crusty bread or toast for a complete meal.
  • This dish is gluten-free and vegetarian, making it suitable for various dietary preferences.
  • Prepare the tomato topping in advance and refrigerate to save time when serving.
  • For added protein, consider topping with cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a day.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven or toaster oven for best results; avoid using a microwave, which can change the texture.
