Equipment Needed

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe but firm avocados
• 4 large eggs (room temperature)

• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (30g/1oz) – optional
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Method

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C)
   2. Cook bacon until crispy, drain on paper towels, then crumble into bits
   3. Slice avocados lengthwise and remove pits
   4. Important: Scoop out about 1-2 tablespoons of flesh from each avocado half to create a bigger egg cavity
   5. Place avocado halves in baking dish, propping them against the sides to prevent tipping

1. 1. Crack one egg into a small bowl, then carefully pour into avocado cavity. Repeat for all halves
   2. Season each with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using
   3. Top with crumbled bacon and cheese

1. Bake for 15-20 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still creamy
2. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving

Crucial Tips

• Choose avocados that yield slightly to pressure but aren’t mushy
• Room temperature eggs work best
• If eggs overflow, don’t panic – they’ll still cook perfectly
• Watch closely after 15 minutes to achieve desired yolk consistency

Storage & Scaling

• Best eaten immediately
• Can be stored for up to 24 hours in an airtight container
• Double ingredients exactly for more servings
• Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes

Variations

• Swap bacon for smoked salmon
• Try different cheeses like feta or goat cheese
• Add spinach or tomatoes before the egg
• Season with everything bagel seasoning instead of plain salt

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t use overripe avocados – they’ll turn mushy
• Don’t skip making the cavity bigger – eggs will overflow
• Don’t overcook – yolks become chalky
• Don’t forget to prop avocados to prevent spilling
