Baked avocado eggs are a nutritious and delicious way to start your day. This recipe combines creamy avocados with perfectly baked eggs, crispy bacon, and juicy cherry tomatoes, all served on toasted white bread. It's a simple yet satisfying breakfast that packs in plenty of flavor and nutrients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of flesh from the center to make enough room for the egg.
- Place the avocado halves in a baking dish, ensuring they are snug to avoid tipping. You can use crumpled aluminum foil to help stabilize them if needed.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl, being cautious not to break the yolk. This will make it easier to pour into the avocado halves.
- Gently spoon one egg into each avocado half. Some egg white may overflow, which is fine.
- Season each egg-filled avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Check frequently after 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- While the eggs are baking, toast the slices of white bread until golden brown.
- In the same skillet used for the bacon, lightly sauté the halved cherry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the avocado eggs from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over each avocado half.
- Arrange the toasted bread slices on serving plates and spoon the sautéed cherry tomatoes beside them.
- Optionally, garnish the avocado eggs with chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of grated cheese.
- Serve the baked avocado eggs immediately alongside the toast and tomatoes for a nutritious and delicious meal.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold up well during baking.
- For added flavor, season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper before baking.
- Use a small spoon to scoop out some of the avocado flesh to create a larger well for the egg.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy and then crumble it over the top for a crunchy texture.
- You can add herbs like chives or parsley for an extra burst of freshness.
- Serve with a side of mixed greens or fruit for a well-rounded meal.
Baked avocado eggs are a simple yet indulgent breakfast option that you can easily prepare at home. With the perfect balance of creamy, crispy, and fresh elements, this dish is sure to become a morning favorite. Don't forget to experiment with different toppings and seasonings to make it your own.
