These avocado breakfast cups are an easy and filling breakfast idea. You can pop them in the oven while you shower or get the kids ready. The healthy fats and protein from the eggs gives you lasting energy and the creaminess of the avocado is great with egg.

There are also endless toppings you could add: diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, feta cheese, salsa, some raw cheese, a dash of hot sauce, etc. I originally saw a similar idea on Pinterest, but made a few modifications to get the texture better. If you’re an avocado fan… try these! I like topping them with feta and green onions, or salsa and cilantro…

Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2

Ingredients
  • 2 avocados
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • Toppings of choice: My favorite is feta and green onions, but salsa and fresh cilantro are also really good with the avocado.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit. Put avocados open side up in a large baking dish. If they are small avocados, scoop out a little of the extra flesh to make more room.
  2. Crack an egg in each avocado half and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until egg is desired doneness. For my oven, 17 minutes gets the perfect egg yolk.
  3. Top with desired toppings while still hot and enjoy!

    I love avocados, but never thought of eating them cooked.  Is the texture the same after baking?

    It is a little silkier when cooked but I really like it, especially with the eggs…

  • Beth Koenig

    I tried baked avocados once and I really didn’t like them… but this just looks and sounds so good that I’m willing to give it a try again :)

    That looks wonderful! Personally I just like to eat my avocadoes with a spoon. But for the rest of the family I mash them up with a little garlic salt and a squeeze of lime juice and eat with tortilla chips.

    Spice and toppings are key… put some good sea salt and pepper on it and top with some flavorful toppings and it is great. The avocado itself doesn’t have much taste but it pairs great with so many toppings!

    Ugh, that looks sickeningly good. High protein low carb too. I’m totally trying this – thanks a lot!

    Now this looks good!  I am not a fan of eggs, but I will eat anything with avocado and a little pico de gallo!

    I wonder if broiling this would work better? Cook the top of the egg without baking the avocado

    Great idea!

  • stef

    Yeah, must pluck enough courage to try cooking an avocado - I often whizz them in the blender with some creamy yoghurt for a truly fab smoothie!

  • Alexandra

    I actually have yet to venture past eating avos in salads and guacamole.  I’ve been stumped as to how else I could eat them.  This is going to be breakfast tomorrow.  Thanks for posting!

  • Sarah

    i found that the avocado rolled around too much causing my egg to spill out. I cut a small slice off the bottom of the avocado so that it was stable. This helped tremendously!

  • Sharla

    How fun is this! Love eggs and avos! I use sliced avocados on my eggs, but have never thought about cooking them! Woohoo! Will need to try something new!

    Do you use room temperature ingredients? My whites took forever to cook and the yokes cooked through. I will try broiling them, but love the idea of just tossing them in the oven.

  • Leigh

    I loved this recipe! Delicious! And so easy. However, I found that I needed to cook the eggs about half an hour. Maybe I just used larger eggs? I don’t know….

  • Steven C.

    I tried this recipe and thought it was disgusting. Avocado is not meant to be cooked… It takes away everything that makes them good. I’ll never make this again!
