Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice 1 large ripe avocado in half and carefully remove the pit to create two halves with a hollow center large enough for an egg.
  2. Step 2: Cook 2 bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Remove and crumble once cooled.
  3. Step 3: Place avocado halves in a small baking dish, ensuring they are stable; if needed, trim the bottom slightly to level.
  4. Step 4: Crack 1 large egg into each avocado half, season each with 1/8 tsp salt and 1/16 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/8 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon over each egg-filled avocado half.
  6. Step 6: Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving, garnished with remaining bacon crumbles.
