These avocado breakfast cups are an easy and filling breakfast recipe. You can pop them in the oven while you shower or get the kids dressed. 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. Personally, I love adding salsa and hot sauce.
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 …
Some people do not like the texture of cooked avocado. If you aren’t a huge avocado fan, you probably won’t like this cooked variation any more than fresh avocado, and I wouldn’t try this one.
Avocado Breakfast Bake Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 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 for the egg.
- Crack one egg into each avocado half and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until egg is cooked as desired. For my oven, 17 minutes gets the perfect egg yolk.
- Top with desired toppings while still hot and enjoy!

Cure Tooth Decay Book Review
My husband tried to make these for us this morning and got SO MAD because no matter how much avocado he scooped out, there wasn’t enough room for the egg. The egg just kept sliding off the avocado and into the drain. I felt so bad for him. I guess our avocados were too small and the eggs too big!
I like this idea of a baked avo but don’t eat eggs due to ethics and being environmentally conscious. Is there anything else i can use?
I love these! My oven takes 40 minutes to cook the eggs through. Maybe my eggs are to large, I tried scooping some of the avocado out on my 2nd batch, no difference still took 40 minutes.
Our family has yet to try out this delicious sounding recipe…. was going to try it out tomorrow morning! Thank you for the inspiration!
