Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe but firm avocados
  • 4 small eggs (or 2 large eggs if your avocados are big and well-scooped)
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)
  • 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (or 1/3 cup cooked breakfast sausage)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion or green onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon salsa or hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the baking dish)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a small baking dish so the avocados don’t stick.
  2. Prep the avocados: Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out 1–2 tablespoons of flesh from each half to make a wider well for the egg. Save the extra avocado for topping or another use.
  3. Stabilize the halves: Set the avocado halves in the baking dish. If they wobble, trim a thin slice off the bottom of each half or nestle them in foil rings to keep them steady.
  4. Add seasoning: Sprinkle the avocado cavities with a pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  5. Layer fillings: Add a small amount of cheese, bacon or sausage, and onion into each well. Don’t overfill—leave room for the egg.
  6. Add the eggs: Crack one small egg into a bowl, then gently pour it into an avocado half. Repeat with the others. If your eggs are large, pour until the cavity is full and discard (or reserve) a little white to prevent overflow.
  7. Bake: Place the dish on the middle rack and bake for 12–16 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks. Check around the 12-minute mark. Whites should be mostly set with a slight jiggle for soft yolks; bake longer for firm yolks.
  8. Finish: Remove from the oven and top with remaining cheese, fresh herbs, and optional salsa or hot sauce. Add a small dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if you like.
  9. Season and serve: Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper. Serve warm as-is or with a side of sautéed greens.
