This avocado and egg recipe is easy to prepare, healthy and delicious on its own or with endless variations and toppings.
Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 lime
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Assorted toppings of your choice
Instructions
Oven Baked Avocado Eggs
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Split avocados in half and remove the pit. Gently scoop out some of the pulp to make the hole bigger (I do about two spoonfuls) to make more room for the egg.
- Place avocado halves on a baking sheet, using the side of the pan to help hold them up and stabilize them. Drizzle each with a little lime and season with kosher salt and a little freshly ground black pepper. Crack an egg in each hole, allowing some of the whites to run out (just make sure the yolk stays put).
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until whites are set and yolk is at desired consistency. Top with whatever you like or just enjoy as-is!
Air Fryer Avocado Eggs
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Split avocados in half and remove the pit. Gently scoop out some of the pulp to make the hole bigger (I do about two spoonfuls) to make more room for the egg.
- Place avocado halves in air fryer, optionally use tin foil cups to stabilize them. Drizzle each with a little lime and season with kosher salt and a little freshly ground black pepper. Crack an egg in each hole, allowing some of the whites to run out (just make sure the yolk stays put).
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until whites are set and yolk is at desired consistency. Check the eggs halfway through since air fryer models vary in cook time. Top with whatever you like or just enjoy as-is!
