Baked Eggs in Avocado (Avocado egg boats?)

Summer break began, and I adjusted quickly to sleeping in later than normal, having Netflix binges, reading novels, scheduling lunches with friends, and neglecting my goal to cook a new recipe everyday.  Because of this, I decided to cook 2 recipes today.  This is what I had for breakfast today, and what I imagine I will have again next week adding variations.

I found this recipe on Pinterest, another way I have been spending my time since the last day of school.  I did not add many changes to the original recipe today, but I imagine I will be tweaking it some next week.

Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
2 eggs
1-2 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled or real bacon bits
1/4 Roma Tomato chopped
Shredded Cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Garlic Powder to taste
















1. Preheat oven to 425.

2. Slice avocado from the top to the bottom in half.  Take out the seed.  Scrape out some avocado if needed to ensure the egg fits in the avocado without spilling (I needed to scrape out more of my avocado because the egg was too big).

3. Put the avocado on a pan or container that is oven safe that will keep the avocado from tipping over.

4. Crack open the egg into the avocado or bowl to spoon into the avocado. (If you like your yolk runny, make sure you do not separate the yolk).

5. Add tomato, bacon, cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on top of the egg to taste.

6. Cook for 15 minutes.  Check eggs and cook until desired consistency.  Then remove.  Let cool, and enjoy!

Additions/Substitutions
Next time I will scoop out more avocado and cook the egg longer.  It was runny and tasted good, but I would have liked it a little less runny.
You could add sprouts, salsa, &/or spinach to the top after cooking.
You could add mushrooms and fresh lemon juice (for flavoring) before you cooked the avocado eggs boats, or any other vegetable, but remember, it's not too big.
You could scrape out to eat on toast, or eat directly out of the avocado.

Let me know what you think if you try this recipe.  I'd love to hear how yours turned out, and what you did to personalize your dish!

Enjoy!
