Ingredients:
- 2 avocados, halved and pitted
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped chives, hot sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each avocado half to make room for the egg. Place the avocado halves in a baking dish to keep them stable.
- Crack one egg into each avocado half, ensuring the yolk fits within the well you created. If the avocado halves are uneven, you may need to remove a bit more or use a small ramekin to stabilize the egg.
- Season each egg with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, you can bake them a bit longer.
- While the eggs are baking, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, crumble it into small pieces.
- Remove the avocado and eggs from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of each egg-filled avocado.
- Optional: Add shredded cheese on top and return the avocado halves to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped chives and a dash of hot sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly avocado and bacon egg cups!
