Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
  • 2 tsp fresh chives (or flat-leaf parsley), finely chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425 F. Cook 4 bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool.

  2. 2

    Cut a thin slice from the rounded bottom of each 2 halved, pitted ripe avocados half so they sit flat without tipping. Using a spoon, scoop out a bit more flesh from the center of each half to create a well large enough to hold an egg.

  3. 3

    Set the avocado halves in a small baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Crack one large eggs into each avocado half. If any white overflows the well, let it run into the dish - it will still cook fine.

  4. 4

    Season each avocado evenly with 1/2 tsp fine salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your liking - 12 minutes gives a runny yolk, 15 minutes gives a firm yolk.

  6. 6

    Top with cooked, crumbled bacon strips crumbles and 2 tsp finely chopped fresh chives (or flat-leaf parsley). Serve immediately directly from the baking dish.
