Of course I cannot for the life of me remember who posted it but if you are reading this and it was you thank you so much. I have made my version twice already and am ready to share a quick and easy recipe here with you today.

Ingredients
- 1 whole avocado cut in half, pitted
- 2 small eggs
- 1/3 cup cheese I have used cheddar and a horseradish cheddar.
- 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 tsp fresh oregano minced
- 1 green onion chopped finely
- 1/4 tsp salt/pepper/garlic mix
Servings: servings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Split avocado in half and take pit out. Scoop out a little of the avocado flesh from side to side to allow for more egg. Crack each egg in a separate bowl and scoop out yolk and place in hole in one of the avocado halves. Fill in any extra space with egg white. Repeat for second half.
- Place avocado halves in foil lined baking dish. Add toppings of your choice including cheese, onions, bacon, herbs. Bake in 450 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
- The longer you cook the avocados the harder the eggs will be. I liked them cooked a little less so the yolks were still a little bit runny. You can play with the time to get the perfect egg for you.
Recipe Notes
I love simple recipes using things I have on hand and this is one of those that is easy to make, tasty and looks pretty as well. Adding different toppings can make it a new recipe each time you make it. Enjoy.

Leave a commentOh, I make something similar – a poached egg in an avocado half with roasted cherry tomatoes. Yum! Love avocados!
Avocados are a pretty versatile thing and I do love a good one. This recipe is one that can obviously be changed up –do you bake yours or cook it in the microwave?
I may make this for lunch today. I have an avocado and plenty of eggs. And I’m always looking for something easy and nutritious to make for myself. Thanks for the recipe.
It really is a great little dish. Let me know if you make it and how you “doctor” it up. Love avocados!
What a versatile recipe, can’t wait to check it out! Thanks! Food for thought… Avocado is a Nahuatl Indian word for testicle. Low hanging fruit indeed.
You totally made me spit my salad out with that comment ! Who knew?
I may have shared this. Or at least I saw this recipe somewhere recently. I’m so glad you tried it. I plan to make it as soon as we have an oven! Seems like you could add a variety of ingredients!
Maybe it was you!! If so — thank you!!!
Looks delicious! Perfect timing. Just bought a bag of avocados.
Tell me how you doctor yours up— there have to be a million ways!
