Ingredients

4 ripe avocados, halved, pitted
8 large eggs
8 bacon strips
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
as needed hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Have a baking dish or rimmed sheet pan ready.
2

Scoop out about a tablespoon of flesh from each 4 halved, pitted ripe avocados half to widen the well enough to hold an egg.
3

Wrap one strip of 8 bacon strips around the rim of each avocado half to form a collar that will contain the egg.
4

Place the avocado cups snugly in the baking dish. Crack one large eggs into each avocado well. Season the tops with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
5

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks have reached your preferred doneness - 15 minutes for runny, 20 for fully cooked. The internal temperature of the cooked egg white should reach 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives and a dash of hot sauce (optional) if desired. Serve immediately.
