Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove pits, and scoop out a small amount of flesh to create a well for stuffing.
  2. Step 2: Place avocado halves cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush cut sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Cook bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp, then drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Fill each avocado half with the cream cheese mixture, then top with crumbled bacon, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges of avocado are lightly golden and cream cheese is bubbling, then serve immediately.
