The first time I ever had a baked avocado was in late February 2020 at a local restaurant, right before COVID became a serious thought in the US. It was fantastic and filled with crab, shrimp, bacon, three cheeses and covered in a balsamic reduction. That's a little fancy for a regular meal, though I have attempted to replicate it at home. It makes a great dinner dish, but I'm not much of a seafood person in the morning. 

Finding a variety of uses for the avocado for breakfast has been a challenge for me. The only things I knew to do with avocados for breakfast was to eat raw with a bit of salt (or salt-substitute) and avocado toast, neither of which require any effort at all. If you have a bit more time, I highly recommend putting forth the effort to make these keto-friendly loaded avocado baked eggs.

Before you get started, there are two things you need to know! 

• Be sure to use LARGE avocados and MEDIUM eggs to prevent overflowing. 
• You can stabilize the avocado halves in the oven by resting them on top of muffin pan holes rather than using a flat baking sheet.

Keto Loaded Avocado Baked Eggs

Prep time: 5 Min 

Cook time: 25 Min 

Total time: 30 Min

With just five ingredients and optional garnish, these keto-friendly loaded avocado baked eggs will amp up your avocado breakfast game.

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe avocados
• 4 medium eggs
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• ½ c. Cheddar Jack Cheese, shredded
• 3 strips sugar-free bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
• Optional garnish: chives or green onions (green parts only), sliced thin

Instructions

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to carefully remove some of the avocado flesh around the pit to create more space for the egg. Reserve removed flesh for another use (or smash, season with salt and pepper to taste, and top each baked avocado half with a spoonful before serving).
3. Crack one egg into a small bowl and then carefully transfer the egg into one of the prepared avocado halves. Place the filled avocado onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat this process with the remaining avocado halves and eggs. Season each with salt and black pepper, to taste.
4. Place filled avocado halves in pre-heated oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked according to your preference.

Notes:

Be sure to use LARGE avocados and MEDIUM eggs to prevent overflowing.

You can stabilize the avocado halves in the oven by resting them on top of muffin pan holes rather than using a flat baking sheet.
