📋 Easy Tips for Loaded Avocado Baked Eggs

To make this recipe perfect, however, there are a few techniques to be aware of. You start by using medium-sized eggs and large avocados.

Otherwise, the avocado may overflow with egg whites. You can also prevent spills by cracking each egg into a small bowl before carefully pouring it into the avocado.

Tip: To keep your egg-filled avocados from tipping over while baking, position them over the holes of a muffin tin, rather than on a flat baking sheet, before placing them in the oven.

🐣 Loaded Avocado Baked Eggs

Everyone in my family loves avocados. When I return home from grocery shopping, when my kids see avocados in the bags, they all ask when we can eat them.

It wasn't until we found avocados stuffed with eggs, topped with cheese and bacon that we discovered avocados as a dinner or lunch food.

It was ridiculously easy to make this low carb breakfast, and everyone devoured it! Perfect, because everyone needs to get ready for the day while I make breakfast for the kids. This momma needs a cup of coffee in the morning to wake up.

🥑 Benefits of Avocados

There are many health benefits to avocados, including low carbs, high protein content, and super filling. Avocados may aid in weight loss by keeping you satisfied for a longer time.

Avocados are high in potassium. One serving of 3.5 ounces contains 14% of the daily recommended allowance (compared to 10% in bananas). Bonus, reduced blood pressure is associated with higher potassium intake.

Avocados are rich in fiber. Fiber is beneficial for weight loss, digestion, and metabolic health.

Researchers have found that avocado and soybean oil extracts can significantly reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis.

📖 Recipe Directions for Loaded Avocado Baked Eggs

Entire recipe and directions are below in the printable recipe card.

Step #1: 

Preheat oven to 350° F and get out a muffin tin. Line it with parchment paper.

Step #2: 

Remove pits from avocados by cutting them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove some of the avocado flesh around the pit to create more space for the egg. Reserve removed flesh for another use (or smash, season with salt and pepper to taste, and top each baked avocado half with a spoonful before serving).

Step #3: 

Into a small bowl, crack one egg. Crack one egg into a small bowl and then carefully transfer the egg into one of the prepared avocado halves. Place the filled avocado onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat this process with the remaining avocado halves and eggs. Season each with salt and black pepper, to taste.

Step #4: 

Place into pre-heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until eggs are cooked to your desired consistency).

Step #5: 

Remove baked avocados from oven. Top with cheese and bacon. If desired, garnish with sliced green onions or chives. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

🥘 Tips For Making Keto Loaded Baked Avocado Eggs

The following tips and tricks will ensure that your baked avocado eggs come out perfect every time:

Tip #1: Use avocados that are large (not necessarily Florida avocados). 

There are different avocados, and if you aren't an avocado connoisseur, you may not recognize them. Let me explain.

Haas avocados have a thick, dark skin and are smaller than Florida avocados. The avocados in Florida are big and have a lighter skin (more of a light green). Avocados from Florida have less fat than avocados from Haas... Not exactly the goal of a keto diet!

We can find a Haas avocado in several sizes, even though it is smaller than a Florida avocado. Choose a large Haas avocado but not something as large as a Florida avocado.

Tip #2: Use medium-sized eggs. 

Doing so will prevent the egg white from overflowing onto the avocado, and that's no fun! (If you used Florida avocados, you may also use a large egg.)

Tip #3: Crack the egg into a small bowl before using it. 

By doing this, you'll have more control over it than if you crack it into the avocado directly.

Tip #4: Scoop out a bit of the avocado to make room for the egg. 

Before adding the egg, scoop out a bit of avocado flesh with a spoon to prevent the egg from overflowing. Don't throw away the extra avocado! Mix it with some salt and pepper and sprinkle it on salads, baked avocados, etc.

Tip #5: Cook your Keto Loaded Baked Avocado Eggs in a muffin tin, not on a flat baking sheet. 

This tip will ensure baking perfection on these baked avocados! Your baked avocados won't topple over when you place them over the holes of a muffin tin.
