    Ingredients List

    Ingredients used to make baked avocado eggs

    How to Make Them

    This baked avocado egg recipe is a super simple meal loaded with nutrition and flavor. Here's how to bake an egg in an avocado:

    • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) and grease or line a baking dish with baking paper.

    Baked Avocado and Egg Quick Tips

    A few quick tips for our baked avocado and egg recipe:

    • Cut a tiny slice off the bottom of each avocado. If you're having an issue getting your avocado to stand this will give it a nice flat base and prevent any egg from spilling out.
    • Pack the avocados close together. Additionally, you can place the avocados close together and lean them against the sides of the baking dish. This will help them stand as well.
    • To avoid spilling extra egg white use a bowl. You might have excess egg white when filling the avocado wells. Simply crack the eggs into a bowl. Use a spoon to gently place the yolk and fill the well without having excess egg white spill into the baking pan. This also helps if you accidentally break a yolk when cracking the egg. Use any extra egg white or broken yolk to make an omelet!

    Are Avocado and Eggs Healthy?

    Absolutely! Both eggs and avocados are loaded with nutrients.

    Eggs are a great source of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. They contain less saturated fat than other animal products, which is good for your heart health! They are also low in calories and have less than 1 gram of carbs.
