Baked Eggs in Avocado Cups Recipe

Even though this past week I made three cakes, yes… three, we’re trying to watch the amount of bread we eat. It is just so easy to make waffles, pancakes, easy buttermilk biscuits, muffins, scones, or even egg-in-the-hole or breakfast burritos that it had become second nature to load up in the mornings on a bread-laden breakfast.
Breaking from that hasn’t been as easy for me as I would like to admit. Sure, I’ve been drinking lots of smoothies, eating my yogurt, having a scrambled egg, but I was ready for something different. That’s when I fell for these Baked Eggs in Avocado Cups.
And you know, these baked eggs in avocado cups couldn’t be any easier to make either.
Three ingredients, bake for 15 minutes, and your done!
Hoo-rah!
How simple is that?!

I hope you love this recipe as much as we do!
Now, I think I’ll go see if there is any cake left. It’s all about priorities, ya know.
What a great idea! You’re incredible Robyn.
Thanks so much Vincent! Enjoy this!
Robin, can another vegetable like Roma tomatoes be used?  I saw the portobello mushroom recipe. This recipe looks delicious; I just don’t care for avocados.Â
Thanks!
Hi Deb,
You could try a few of my other baked eggs recipes if you aren’t a fan of avocados. Along with the mushroom one you mention, there are couple of other delicious ones! Enjoy! xo
I have to try these! My daughter loves avocado toast or egg in a basket for breakfast and this is the perfect alternative!
Can I make this ahead of time and store and reheat it somehow?
Hi Elizabeth,
While I’ve not done that, I would think that you could gently reheat it and it still be delicious. Please let me know if you do.
This did not work for me. The egg just overflowed onto the cookie sheet.
So sorry it didn’t work for you, Stevani. It could have been that your egg was larger than the impression left by the pit of your avocado or that your avocado tipped a bit during baking. If you’d like to try the recipe again, I’d use a larger avocado and place it into a muffin tin to hold the avocado steady as it bakes.
I just saw a tv demo of a similar recipe. They separated the egg white from the yolk. Then the demo used the yolk in the avocado — it also made a great presentation. You could probably just use the white as well.
Whaaaaaaat? You make me swoon.
Wow, these look delicious! You’ve combined two of my favorite things – avocados and eggs! Pinning this! 🙂
Robyn, this is brilliant! I’m trying SO hard to get back on track with good eating (ugh)… this is SUCH a fun breakfast alternative to boring eggs. Can’t wait to make these!!!!
Thank you so much! I can eat these items on my diet and luckily I LOVE them all. I can’t wait to try it –
Interesting… I love avocado though! And I will try anything! Yummy!
