Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the 2 strips of bacon and cook them until they are crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Once cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Cut the 1/2 avocado in half, removing the pit.
- Use a spoon to scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh from the center to create enough space for an egg. Make sure the indentation is deep and wide enough to hold the egg.
- Place the avocado halves on a baking tray, ensuring they sit steadily. You can use a small oven-safe dish or crumple a piece of aluminum foil to create a nest for the avocados if needed.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the avocados.
- Crack an egg and gently pour it into each avocado half, trying to get as much of the egg white into the avocado as possible.
- Top each egg-filled avocado with a handful of crumbled bacon and a dash of red pepper for some heat.
- Carefully transfer the baking tray to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still a bit runny, or to your desired doneness.
- Once baked, remove the avocados from the oven.
- Add an extra pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired.
- Serve immediately as a delicious and nutritious breakfast or brunch option.
