Ingredients and Variations
Avocado – Choose large avocados that are clean and free of bruises. They should slightly yield when pressed. If they aren’t quite soft enough, microwave them at 30-second intervals until they’re soft, rolling them on the counter between intervals.
Eggs – Any eggs will do, even a pre-made scrambled egg mix or egg whites only.
PRO TIP:
Check eggs for freshness by dropping each one into a glass of water. If they float, toss them, but if they sink or tip to one side, they are still fresh!
Bacon – Use store-bought bacon bits or make your own in the air fryer and save strips to use all week long. Leftover ground beef, pork, turkey, or shredded chicken will amp up the protein and flavor of avocado eggs!
Variations – Feel free to add leftover bits of veggies, any kind of cheese, or even leftover beans. Add tasty seasonings like taco, chili, Italian, or everything bagel seasoning.
How to Make a Baked Avocado Egg

For Soft Eggs: 8 minutes
For Medium Eggs: 10 minutes

Tips for the Best Avocado Egg Bake
