How to make baked eggs in avocado

Start with ripe but firm avocados. This will help them maintain their shape when baked without them getting overly soft.

Cut the avocados in half and remove the stone. Scoop out some of the avocado from the center of each half to make room for the egg. Check out this article for more tips on how to safely cut avocado and remove the pit.

Don’t toss the scooped out avocado to make the baked eggs recipe. You can use them in:

Removing some flesh from avocados with spoon

Place the avocado halves on opposite ends of an upside down muffin tin to keep them upright. You can also place them into individual ramekins instead.

Placing avocados inside muffin tins for baking

Crack an egg into each avocado half and season.

Cracked eggs inside 4 avocado halves before baking

Bake until the egg is solid. Then you can serve with your favorite toppings like fresh vegetables, cheese or turkey bacon.

Tips for making this recipe

Use a ramekin or other small oven-safe dish for baking. If you’re only making one, it may be best to use a ramekin instead of the muffin tin. There’s less of a mess that way. You an also place three halves in a loaf pan.
Scoop the avocado wider rather than deeper so that the eggs don’t take too long to bake. You will need to scoop out about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of the flesh to make room for the cracked eggs.
Use small/medium eggs and large avocados. This is the best combination to ensure that the eggs don’t overflow into the muffin tin or ramekin. Regardless carefully pour the egg into the avocado crevice and save any extra egg whites for another use.
Limit any egg spilling by cracking the egg into a small bowl first. Then you can slowly pour the yolk first and then the egg whites into the avocado, leaving any extra whites aside.

Frequently asked questions

What toppings can you add to baked eggs in avocado?

I like to add feta cheese, tomato and parsley to these avocados. That’s my little Mediterranean twist to the recipe. They add a little color and bring freshness to the dish and the salty feta cheese works so well with the avocado. Experiment with different toppings, crumbled turkey bacon, chives and red bell peppers all work well.

Can you make this breakfast ahead of time?

Baked eggs in avocados are best enjoyed as soon as they are made. If you make them ahead of time, the avocado will turn brown and the texture of the egg will turn rubbery if you re-heat it.

How long do you bake eggs in avocado?

This will depend on your preference for the egg doneness. The most important thing is to make sure that the egg whites are set and that should happen around 15 minutes. Keep in mind that every oven is different and this will depend on the width and depth of the cut avocado. I like keeping them in for 20 minutes when the yolk is cooked but still slightly soft.
