Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F, ensuring it reaches full temperature for even baking.

  2. 2

    Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and carefully scoop out just enough flesh to create a cavity large enough for the egg.

  3. 3

    Arrange the avocado halves in a snug ovenproof dish so they don’t roll, then season the cavities lightly with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Crack one egg into a small bowl and gently pour into each avocado half, controlling the pour to avoid spilling egg white over the sides.

  5. 5

    Bake for 14–17 minutes, monitoring the whites for doneness while keeping yolks slightly runny or to desired doneness; rotate pan halfway for even cooking.

  6. 6

    While avocados bake, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp but not burnt, then drain and crumble.

  7. 7

    Remove avocados from oven, sprinkle with bacon crumbles and chopped chives, season with extra salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The dish centers around ripe avocados, which provide a creamy base and oven-baked structure for the eggs. The combination of avocado and eggs defines both the flavor and texture, while bacon crumble delivers a savory depth and crispy contrast.
Q. How can I prevent the egg whites from spilling out of the avocados?
Carefully scoop a large enough cavity in the avocado to fit the egg, and place each half tightly in the baking dish so they don’t tip. Crack the eggs into a bowl first, then pour slowly into the avocado wells to keep the whites contained.
Q. What's the best way to achieve perfect doneness for the baked eggs?
Bake in a fully preheated oven at 400°F, checking at around 14 minutes. The whites should be just set while the yolks remain slightly runny. You can adjust the timing by a minute or two for firmer yolks if preferred, and rotating the pan ensures even cooking.
Q. How many calories are in each serving and does this dish fit a low carb or keto diet?
Each serving contains about 350 kcal, with 7g carbohydrates (8% of calories) and 30g fat (76%). These values make it suitable for low carb and keto diets, prioritizing high fat and moderate protein with minimal carbs.
