Egg and avocado lovers unite! I like to call these Baked Eggs in Avocado, Egg in a Cado. I’ve been seeing this recipe for a few years all over the internet and have wanted to try it every single time. But then, I’m distracted by shiny objects throughout the day and forget all about it. Thank goodness for Pinterest! When I see something I HAVE to make, I just pin it and go back to it when I’m not running around like a mad woman.
We adore avocados and eggs in our house, so this was a marriage made foodie in heaven. It’s simple and tasty! Full of protein and good fats. I think sometimes, people are afraid of all the fat an avocado has, but don’t be, it’s good for you, pinkie swear!
These are delicious, warm and creamy. It’s the perfect way to start your day!
Start off by slicing an avocado in half and removing the pit.
Scoop out some of the avocado flesh so you have enough room for your egg.
Slowly crack your egg into each half. Don’t worry if all the egg white doesn’t fit, the yolk is most important. If your avocado is rolling all over the place, just use a muffin tin instead of a baking sheet to hold each half in place.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
You could keep it simple and just go with salt and pepper, or you could get creative. Any number of cheeses would be fantastic, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, goat cheese, Parmesan or Gruyer. You could also crumble on some bacon, breakfast sausage, Chorizo or Corned Beef. I’m making myself drool thinking of all the delicious combinations.
Hope you all enjoy this simple, delicious and healthy meal.
XO, Sarah

Hey Sarah!
I so curious about this. Does the flavor and texture of the avocado change when it is baked?
Have a good weekend!

Great question! I was wondering the same thing before I made these. Oddly enough, the texture and taste didn’t change much at all. It’s a little softer, but just basically tastes like a warm avocado. I know sounds a little weird and I wasn’t sure how I’d like it, but I ended up really enjoying it! I’d say give it a try 🙂
I just might have to try it then. Thanks! 🙂
I love this, I have baked and stuffed avocado’s and you are right they don’t really change that much but really are delicious and eggs are perfect with them,
I couldn’t agree more!
Hey Sarah, love avocado! Have tried this (similar) and I do so love it. Wonderful job as always! xo Cheryl
Thank you so much! 🙂
Oh by the way have a great Super Bowl Sunday weekend, too!!! CLW
You too!
I saw the picture first and thought the EXACT same thing! I’ve seen this everywhere but haven’t taken the time to try it out. You’ve inspired me to get my booty in gear and finally bake me some eggs in avocado. Thanks, Sarah!
Yay, let me know how it turns out!
Wow, I don’t even know if I have the words to describe how incredible this looks. I needed that for breakfast today
There’s always tomorrow 😉
