Ingredients

• 1 large ripe avocado, halved and pitted

• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: paprika, chili flakes

Method

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of avocado flesh from each half, creating an egg-sized hollow.
3. Place avocado halves in baking dish, using foil rings if needed to keep them stable.
4. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl first, then carefully pour into avocado hollows.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
7. Top with bacon crumbles and cheese.
8. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.

Crucial Tips

• Choose slightly firm avocados – overripe ones get mushy when baked.
• Room temperature eggs cook more evenly.
• If egg white overflows, create a foil barrier around avocado.
• Watch closely after 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.
