This is not the most conventional of breakfast items, but seeing as I made Mexican for breakfast the other day, I thought why not have avocado for breakfast and start the day off with some healthy fat.
Avocados make great bowls for other fillings, so why could they not be the support for my morning egg? They could! And they did! I cooked it so that the egg was still runny and then dipped a couple of slices of home-made bread into it. This is so quick to prepare and only takes 10 minutes to cook. It’s also something a little bit different (it beats porridge) and delicious.
Ingredients – Serves 2:
- 1 avocado
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
1) Slice the avocado in half and remove the stone. Keep the skin on, as you will be baking it in the skin.
2) Scoop out some of the flesh of each half, to make room for the egg.
3) Crack an egg into each half and sprinkle over a little salt and pepper
4) Put in a oven that is preheated to 425F/220C and bake for around 10 minutes (depending how you like your egg)
5) Serve with some really good bread.

So far I have been baking my egg for 15 minutes and its not turning white at all??? I had to set my avocado in a ramekin because it kept spilling my egg. Is that why its not done??
Depending on the size of your egg and avocado it might take a bit longer.
I am still baking…. 15+ minutes later. lol I don’t like runny eggs so that could be part of my problem. lol
Did you take the avocado out of its “shell”?
No – you bake it in it’s shell and then eat it out of it.
I could eat avocado all day every day, so I am not sure why I have not thought to have it for breakfast before. Does it matter if they are not completely ripe? I have some on the counter waiting to ripen, but I don’t want to wait to try this recipe
They don’t have to be totally ripe, but the softer the better.
I love putting slices of avocado on my eggs in the morning, but this is new to me. I will be making it for my family tomorrow morning.
What a great idea! I would have never thought to do this.
I just just come across your website. I love it. It’s definitely going on my reader.
