Did you know you can cook with avocados? This is a perfect keto breakfast recipe to try when cooking an avocado for the first time.
This avocado bake recipe will provide you a fresh new way to prepare this superfood. We’ve all heard of (and probably tried) avocado toast for breakfast.
But that can get a little old. This is a great alternative when you’re tired of that dish and ready for a more keto-friendly version.
This is also a great gluten-free option.
Avocados are a great addition to your diet. They are low carb and full of the healthy fats our body needs.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Avocado (1) – Make sure that your avocados are ripe and not too hard. They won’t be usable or taste good if you cut into them before they ripen.
Eggs (2, medium)
Salt (a pinch)
Black Pepper (a pinch)
Italian Seasoning (a pinch)
Salsa (1 tbsp)
Scallions (chopped)
How to Make Avocado Egg Bake
Step 1. First of all, you will want to preheat the oven to 425F.
Afterward, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. You will want to scoop out a little bit of the avocado around the area where the pit was. This is going to make room for the eggs.
Step 2. Carefully crack one egg into each of the avocado halves. Pour the eggs one at a time into a small bowl first if you’re a little worried about eggshells.
Gently move the eggs into a small baking dish. Try to find the smallest dish that will fit both the avocados.
This will help prevent the avocados from tipping over. Even better, if you have baking beans, you can lay those on the bottom of the dish and nest the avocados right on top of the beans.
Season with the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning once the eggs are nestled in the baking dish.
Step 3. Now, place the baking dish in the oven and make sure to bake for 12-15 minutes or until the eggs are completely cooked.
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the baking dish carefully. Garnish with salsa and sliced scallions.
Make sure that you are using a salsa that is sugar-free. There are lots of great options, like this one.

Avocado Egg Bake
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado
- 2 medium eggs
- A pinch of salt & black pepper
- A dash of Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp salsa
- Scallions chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- First, cut the avocado in half and then take out the seed. Now, scoop out some of the avocado flesh, making an indent for the egg.
- Place avocado on a plate or board. Crack 1 egg into each avocado half. Some of the egg white might come out because the indent is too small, don’t worry about that, don’t try to get into the avocado.
- Place the avocados in a smaller baking dish. The smaller, the better because we want to make sure that our avocados don’t tip over while baking.
- Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the egg is fully cooked.
- Drizzle with some salsa and top with scallions before serving.
