The best Avocado Baked Eggs Recipe
Don’t knock it before you try it! I know that baked avocados might sound odd, but these baked eggs in avocado are perfectly creamy and delicious, and full of healthy fats and protein! The air fryer is the easiest and most convenient way to make these baked avocado eggs. You can cook them longer if you prefer a set yolk, but we cooked ours for about 4-5 minutes to set the egg white and have a runny yolk! Served with crunchy bacon bits, crumbled feta, and chopped green onions, these avocado boats have the perfect combination of textures, flavors and nutrients! You can serve with some toast to dip in it, too!
Ingredients Needed
Avocado: Just one avocado is perfect for one serving! You can double the recipe for two people of course. Eggs: You can either use just the egg yolks, or scoop out some of the avocado flesh and use the whole egg. Serve the scooped avocado on the side. Feta: Sprinkle with feta or your favorite cheese after baking! Bacon: I like to add crispy, crumbled bacon on top of my baked eggs in avocado. Green Onion: For added flavor, sprinkle on some green onions or chopped chives! Salt & Pepper: To taste.
How to Make baked eggs in avocado
Tips for Success
Before adding the eggs to the avocado halves, check to see if they can both sit straight in the air fryer. You don’t want the eggs to spill out! If they don’t sit straight but want to tip over, then create small foil boats to put the avocado in and hold it steady. You can either crack the egg directly into the avocado, which might cause a little bit of spillage, or you can crack the egg into a bowl and spoon the egg and some of the egg white gently into the cavity in the avocado! Both will work! Make it spicy! Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top before serving, or serve with your favorite hot sauce or salsa! Serve with toast! I love to serve these with some sourdough or whole grain toast and use a knife to spread the runny egg and avocado on the toast! So delicious.
