This baked egg in avocado recipe has quickly become my obsession. It makes such a nice, filling breakfast - with healthy, satiating fat and protein instead of classic grains. Avocado and egg taste amazing together, and this recipe couldn't be easier. This dish has many names, and I'm not quite sure what to call it. Egg in avocado hole, egg in avocado bake, baked avocado with egg.. you guys get what I mean!

How to bake an egg in avocado
First, you will need a perfectly ripe avocado. Slice it in half, remove the stone, and use a spoon to scoope out a hole in the middle of the avocado. Crack an egg into the hole, then top with a drizzle of salt. Bake in the oven until the egg whites are solid. You can bake it extra if you want the yolk to be hard as well - I prefer mine with a runny yolk!
Serve with a pinch of dried dill on top.
What to serve with this
This recipe is perfect for breakfast or lunch. You can serve it on its own, but I think it's perfect with a nice salad, or even some meatballs. I think this egg avocado bake is perfect as a part of a brunch table or buffet as well, and it's guaranteed to impress whoever you serve it to.
Baked egg in avocado leftovers
This dish is best when served warm, but if you have any leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Serve leftovers cold, or heat them up in the microwave when you are ready to eat them.

This is a fun and simple way to eat healthy breakfast. Plus, the scooped out avocado can be used to prepare avocado toasts too. 🙂

Yes! I usually scoop it right into my mouth, hate wasting food. Avocado toast is also a great solution!
