Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve 1 medium avocado lengthwise, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth, then mix in 2 tbsp heavy cream, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until fully combined.
- Step 2: Place 4 slices bacon in a cold skillet, then turn heat to medium. Cook until crisp, 6-8 minutes, flipping once, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Step 3: Spoon mashed avocado mixture into the avocado shells, creating a well in the center for eggs. Gently crack 2 large eggs into the wells, then sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped chives.
- Step 4: Bake for 15-18 minutes until egg whites are set and edges are golden, checking at 12 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- Step 5: Remove from oven, let rest 2 minutes, then top with crispy bacon strips before serving.
